In Indonesia, Reuters reported that Indonesia, the world’s largest palm oil producer, is considering a plan to require international flights from Jakarta and Bali to use a 1% sustainable aviation fuel blend starting from 2026.
Indonesia’s state energy firm Pertamina this year started producing SAF made partly from used cooking oil (UCO) in one of its refinery units, and is planning to convert two other refineries to process fuel from UCO, according to the report.
“The regulation for the gradual implementation of SAF is currently being drafted, with a proposal that it will be started in 2026 with an initial implementation of 1%,” energy ministry official Edi Wibowo said.
Under the proposed regulation, Indonesia will seek to gradually increase the SAF blend to 5% by 2035.
