Thailand's national oil company, PTT, through its subsidiary Global Chemical (GC), is focusing on the development of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and plans to launch biofuels for aircraft use next year. Another industry giant, Bangchak, is also investing to build a new plant, aiming to seize opportunities in green transportation.
PTT GC expects to produce 500,000 liters SAF per day
Toasaporn Boonyapipat, CEO of PTT GC, stated that the newly constructed biorefinery is expected to commence trial production in December, with commercial operations slated for next year, targeting a daily output of 500,000 liters. The facility will process 1,700 tons of waste cooking oil each month. SAF is derived from biofuels, with raw materials including waste cooking oil and agricultural waste.
