Malaysia, a land synonymous with vibrant palm oil production, grapples with a hidden challenge: managing millions of tons of palm waste annually.
But within this challenge lies a golden opportunity – the potential to transform palm oil waste into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The nation is poised to take its remarkable flight towards a sustainable aviation future.
The abundance of palm biomass from Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) and palm biogas from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) combined with innovative technology and strategic partnerships, positions Malaysia to become a frontrunner in clean aviation fuel (SAF) production and utilisation.
