Thai firm Energy Absolute doubles SAF production
In Washington D.C, the Thai Embassy to the United States reported that Energy Absolute, a Thai renewable energy and electric vehicle firm, is doubling its production of sustainable aviation fuel to 130 tons a day.
Energy Absolute’ SAF is an offshoot of its commodity-grade biodiesel, which it has produced for almost two decades, the Embassy stated.
It added that the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said that several Asia-Pacific carriers have begun buying limited amounts of SAF, including Korean Air, ANA, Japan Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Qantas and Cebu Pacific.
Other Thai firms are also considering producing sustainable aviation fuels. Global Green Chemicals Plc, the biochemical subsidiary of PTT Global Chemical, said earlier this year the company is conducting a feasibility study on the production of SAF. While Bangkok Aviation Fuel Services, a listed company, teamed up with sugar producer Mitr Phol to study whether a plan to produce SAF is feasible.
