Sarawak to go big in sustainable aviation fuel


KUCHING: Sarawak will begin commercial production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from microalgae next year, and by 2030, the largest state of Malaysia aims to produce 100,000 barrels of SAF per day.

Deputy state secretary Datuk Dr Muhammad Abdullah Zaidel said microalgae grown in waters mixed with carbon dioxide would be used to produce SAF, which is increasingly adopted by global airlines.
