The Malaysian government announced its first aviation industry carbon reduction plan on Sept. 5, which proposes four major carbon reduction measures for airlines. In addition to encouraging the purchase of carbon credits to offset emissions, the plan places a crucial focus on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
Malaysia's national oil company, Petronas, has been tasked with the responsibility of producing SAF, with production expected to begin as early as 2028. The aim is to accelerate the adoption of SAF by airlines.
