Finance & Investments

Standards setting for structured financing and investments supporting the development of SAF production, deployment and utilisation.

Communications and reporting

Ensure credible and transparent communications of SAF by promoting accurate claims, clear sustainability goals, and reliable reporting.

Standards & Certification

Develop regional standards and certification frameworks for SAF, ensuring sustainability, quality, and regulatory compliance for streamlined SAF adoption.

Market Structures

Develop frameworks for SAF policies and incentives, pricing, trade flows, and market harmonization. It focuses on integrating SAF with book and claim systems, carbon markets, and GHG emissions accounting.

Sustainable Alcohols

Assess and promote the sustainable use of energy and waste feedstocks to produce alcohols in Asia for SAF production.

Sustainable Oils

Assess and promote the sustainable use of FOGs (Fats, Oils, and Greases) feedstocks across Asia for SAF production.

Safety & Quality Assurance

Safety and Quality Assurance for SAF involves stringent testing and certification processes to ensure that sustainable aviation fuels meet the same performance and safety standards as conventional jet fuels, guaranteeing compatibility with existing aircraft engines and infrastructure while maintaining reliability in diverse operating conditions.

Future Technologies

Future pathways for SAF include MtJ (Methanol-to-Jet), which converts methanol derived from renewable sources into sustainable aviation fuel, and pyrolysis, which breaks down organic waste materials or biomass at high temperatures to produce bio-oil, which can be upgraded into jet fuel.

PtL/eSAF

PtL (Power-to-Liquid), also known as eSAF, produces sustainable aviation fuel by using renewable electricity to convert water and captured CO2 into synthetic fuel through processes like electrolysis and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, providing a carbon-neutral fuel alternative.

Biomass FT

FT (Fischer-Tropsch) biomass-to-liquid technology converts biomass, such as agricultural residues or municipal waste, into sustainable aviation fuel through gasification and catalytic processes, offering a carbon-reducing alternative to conventional jet fuel.

AtJ

AtJ (Alcohol-to-Jet) SAF involves converting alcohols, such as ethanol or butanol, derived from renewable biomass into sustainable aviation fuel, offering a lower-carbon alternative while utilizing abundant feedstocks like agricultural residues in Asia.

HEFA & Co-Processing

HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids) and co-processing SAF involve converting renewable feedstocks like waste oils and fats into sustainable aviation fuel, reducing carbon emissions while utilizing existing refinery infrastructure for efficient integration.
