In Malaysia, New Straits Times reported that Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani said Malaysia’s first commercial production of sustainable aviation fuel marked a major leap in the country’s efforts to decarbonize aviation and secure a place in the regional clean-fuel market.
To meet our national targets, it is essential that we also address high-emitting sectors, namely in aviation.
“Globally, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has set an ambitious net-zero carbon target by 2050, with SAF identified as a critical pathway for decarbonizing the industry,” Johari said.
The country’s first SAF facility, EcoCeres Renewable Fuels Sdn Bhd, has been producing commercial-grade fuel at its Tanjung Langsat plant since October.
The facility can produce up to 350,000 tons of SAF annually, according to the report.
