In Ethiopia, The Reporter Ethiopia reported that Ethiopia has formally begun positioning itself as a producer of sustainable aviation fuel following the conclusion of a national feasibility study which confirmed that the country has both the land and renewable energy capacity for supplying the emerging global aviation fuel market.
Experts presenting the feasibility study said that Ethiopia could produce low-carbon aviation fuel using local agricultural crops, municipal waste, sugar byproducts and renewable energy sources.
The feasibility study launched in December 2024 with a national workshop and followed by field consultations and a March 2025 stakeholder conference, where Ethiopian officials engaged with technical experts to review data and evaluate business readiness for domestic SAF production, according to the report.
