In Malaysia, TN Global reported that the Malaysian Government has launched the Malaysia Aviation Decarbonization Blueprint (MADB) to achieve net zero carbon emissions as early as 2050 for the international aviation sector. The country’s Ministry of Transport (MOT) said the MADB sets decarbonization targets for the aviation sector according to four categories of mitigation measures established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO): aircraft technology, operational improvements, the use of SAF, and carbon offsetting. The report noted that the blueprint outlines a comprehensive approach to achieve emission reduction through the measures including targeting up to 18% reduction in emissions for aircraft technology by 2050. Other measures include striving for up to 5% reduction through better air traffic management and more efficient flight operations; aiming for up to 46% reduction through the increased use of biofuels and other sustainable alternatives; pursuing up to 30% reduction by adopting carbon offset schemes and purchasing carbon credits. According to the ministry, the MADB will serve as a reference for stakeholders in Malaysia to achieve net zero carbon emissions as early as 2050 for the aviation sector.
