Philippines has huge potential in sustainable aviation fuel production
In the Philippines, Philippine News Agency reported that an executive from professional services company GHD said the Philippines has a huge potential in producing sustainable aviation fuel and also likely has the ability to export SAF in the future.
“For the Philippines, the opportunity is increasingly clear: strong aviation demand, abundant agricultural residues, and a growing policy focus are converging at the same time, creating the foundation for a domestic SAF industry with export potential,” GHD’s Energy and Infrastructure executive advisor Sachin Narang said.
Among the findings in the report, according to Narang, is that the Philippines can produce 1.1 million barrels per day of SAF by 2030, and up to 1.3 million barrels by 2050, under supportive policy and investment conditions.
The report said that potential SAF supply from agricultural and sustainable forestry biomass across ASEAN could reach 7.5 million barrels per day in 2030, and as much as 8.5 million barrels per day by 2050.
“The report’s supply chain assessment considers agricultural biomass waste and sustainable forestry biomass readily available in the Philippines, such as coconut, cassava, corn, rice, and sugarcane residues,” Narang said.
