In Thailand, The Nation reported that the Energy Ministry is set to release guidelines on the use of sustainable aviation fuel in the fourth quarter of this year, according to information provided by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT). Sarun Benjanirat, CAAT deputy director-general, said SAF gained prominence after the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) endorsed its role in advancing aviation sustainability. He confirmed that Thailand has been actively addressing this issue, working with the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency and the Department of Energy Business over the past two years. The official also highlighted that Thailand will have enough SAF supplies by next year thanks to three main sources – used cooking oil, ethanol and palm oil. “CAAT has discussed terms on fuel mixing with relevant agencies, airlines and SAF manufacturers and is awaiting the Energy Ministry’s official guidelines,” he said.
