In India, BioEnergy News reported that Indonesia’s state-owned energy company Pertamina is intensifying efforts to scale up production of sustainable aviation fuel as part of the country’s broader plan to reduce carbon emissions from air travel.
The report stated that Pertamina is expanding SAF output at its existing refineries and is studying the development of new green refineries. At present, SAF is produced at the company’s Cilacap refinery in Central Java, while green refinery capabilities are being developed or planned at facilities in South Sumatra, Riau, West Java and East Kalimantan.
The Indonesian government aims to raise the national SAF blend mandate for international flights to 5% by 2035. At the COP30 climate conference in Belem, Brazil, the country announced a target of producing more than 1 million kiloliters of SAF annually by 2030, with used cooking oil set to be a major feedstock.
At Cilacap, the green refinery under development can produce about 1.4 million liters of SAF a day.
