In Malaysia, The Borneo Post reported that Deputy Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Liew Chin Tong said that the palm oil industry should explore repurposing residuals as a crucial feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel. He emphasised the need for the palm oil industry, alongside other non-aviation sectors, to contribute to positioning Malaysia at the forefront of the sustainable fuel landscape. “This is also an opportunity for us to connect Malaysian industries horizontally, so that not only are we supplying the global supply chain, but also creating more domestic innovations and products that will eventually be of relevance globally,” he said during the opening remarks at the MyAero Sustainable Aviation Symposium 2024. “We hope to establish Malaysia as the aerospace hub in the region and the global community, and to build synergy with neighboring states through promoting supply chain development and the use of sustainable alternatives such as sustainable energy fuel, electricity and hydrogen-based energy,” he said.
