In India, BioEnergy Times reported that Malaysia is stepping up investment in sustainable aviation as part of efforts to cut carbon emissions from tourism while creating new industries and jobs, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said.
Speaking at the opening of World Tourism Day (WTD) 2025 and the seventh World Tourism Conference (WTC) 2025, Fadillah announced that the country’s first biomass-based SAF facility is scheduled to begin operations in 2027.
“The elephant in the room is tourism emissions, especially from aviation, which accounts for half of the sector’s direct emissions. No country can shift an industry of this scale alone, so multilateral cooperation is crucial for a sustainable future,” he said in his keynote address.
