In Indonesia, PT Pertamina said it collaborated with Airbus to explore opportunities for Indonesia’s sustainable aviation fuel ecosystem development. The collaboration between Pertamina and Airbus was marked by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing during the Bali International Air Show 2024 at Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali. This agreement forms the foundation of Pertamina and Airbus’ collaboration to explore various local raw materials to encourage SAF development in Indonesia. Both parties will map out the available raw materials in the region, assess logistics needs, and explore commercial development opportunities. The results of this study will support SAF’s domestic development and production in compliance with ICAO-CORSIA and EU RED2 requirements. “This collaboration is a strategic step in supporting Pertamina’s commitment to sustainable energy transition and decarbonization of the aviation sector. The partnership with Airbus is expected to enhance Pertamina’s ability to innovate and develop the SAF industry ecosystem. Together with Airbus, we will focus on developing SAF, which is expected to support efforts to reduce carbon emissions,” said Nicke Widyawati, president director of Pertamina.
