In India, BioEnergy Times reported that the Malaysian government will accelerate and simplify licensing approvals for activities related to sustainable aviation fuel to attract greater foreign investment and strengthen Malaysia’s position in the emerging sector.
The country’s Plantation and Commodities Minister Johari Ghani said that the initiative is aimed at turning Malaysia into a regional SAF hub while improving investor confidence in the domestic industry.
He said the government is making it easier for companies to obtain approvals for building facilities, producing SAF and exporting the fuel, adding that faster and clearer processes would encourage industry players to base their operations in Malaysia, according to the report.
The minister said Malaysia is capitalizing on its status as the world’s second-largest palm oil producer by using feedstock such as used cooking oil, palm oil mill effluent oil and other palm-based biomass for SAF production, the report added.
