In Indonesia, Antara reported that Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources highlighted the need to accelerate the development of sustainable aviation fuels in the country. “The roadmap for SAF for aircraft has been issued by the Coordinating Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Investment, and we are giving inputs,” the ministry’s Director General of New Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation, Eniya Listiani Dewi, said. Dewi affirmed that airfares for trips from Singapore to Indonesia are projected to increase following the use of SAF for aircraft at the Singapore Changi Airport. “The return tickets for our aircraft coming to Singapore Changi Airport will be much more expensive because they require one percent SAF, and the SAF price is charged to the passenger tickets,” she explained. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has called on state-run oil firm Pertamina to accelerate efforts for developing SAF. The state-run company has also established collaborations with Airbus and Boeing, according to the report.
