In Malaysia, Daily Express reported that Gamalux Oils chief executive officer Usman Ahmed said that mandatory purchases of sustainable aviation fuel by local airlines at Malaysian airports are necessary to drive adoption and unlock the country’s potential in the SAF sector. Usman said Malaysia has the industrial capacity and feedstock availability to support SAF production at scale, but policy intervention is needed to create demand certainty, according to the report. “We have all the feedstocks such as used cooking oil, palm oil mill effluent, empty fruit bunch oil and spent bleaching earth oil. In my humble opinion, what Malaysia needs is a regulatory policy framework that enables SAF blending and mandates purchase by national airlines at all airports in the country,” he said.
