Malaysia defers mandatory 1% SAF requirement to 2030
In Malaysia, The Edge Malaysia reported that the Malaysia government has postponed requiring international flights departing Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to use 1% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to 2030.
The Plantation and Commodities Ministry said the decision was made following discussions with the Transport Ministry and would give more time to industry players to prepare their operations.
The postponement will also give the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) more time to develop a regulatory framework to ensure the mandate can be implemented effectively, according to the report.
The ministry said the government remains committed to developing Malaysia SAF’s industry as part of its sustainable energy transition, it added.
Malaysia began commercial SAF production in October 2025 through EcoCeres plant in Johor, which has a licensed capacity of 420,000 metric tons annually.
