In Singapore, The Straits Times reported that a new facility on Pulau Bukom will produce sustainable aviation fuel from 2028, with Singapore Airlines (SIA) and US low-cost carrier JetBlue potentially becoming its early users.
The report noted that the Project Beacon facility will be developed by climate technology start-up Aether Fuels and Aster, and produce up to 50 barrels a day – or 2,000 tons of fuel annually – when completed in 2028.
It will be located at Aster’s refining hub on Pulau Bukom, which the chemical, energy and infrastructure solutions company took over from Shell in April.
Aster and Aether Fuels, which inked their partnership on November 11, did not disclose their investment amount, the report added.
