Malaysia emerges as key hub for sustainable aviation fuel

Malaysia has been identified as one of the world’s critical hubs for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feedstock, reports
BERNAMA, a partner of TV BRICS, citing international data. 

Alongside Indonesia, China and other ASEAN countries, the region could supply around 240 million tonnes of biomass by 2050, accounting for 15 per cent of the global total. Existing biofuel industries in these nations position them as key contributors to efforts to decarbonise the aviation sector.

Research shows that sufficient sustainable feedstock exists to meet industry needs. Other regions, including the Middle East, North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, could supply an additional 220 million tonnes, or 14 per cent of the global total, largely from waste and residues. 

Analysts highlight that airlines will require 500 million tonnes of SAF annually by 2050 to reach carbon neutrality, with biomass providing more than 300 million tonnes and synthetic “power-to-liquid” fuels covering the remainder.
