M’sia hopes CPO jet fuel will be accepted by ICAO


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is hoping that jet fuel made from crude palm oil (CPO) will be accepted by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Being one of the biggest palm oil producers in the world, he said Malaysia had introduced the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) Certification scheme in 2013 to address global concerns on the sustainable production of palm oil, such as mitigating biodiversity loss and greenhouse gas emissions.
