Group 1 - Southeast Asia is emerging as a significant center for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) development, with potential driven by abundant agricultural and forestry residues [1] - Countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam are expected to become net exporters of SAF by 2040, while Japan and South Korea are projected to be major importers [1] - The study highlights that optimizing agricultural practices, mechanization, irrigation improvements, and large-scale biomass utilization will drive the growth of SAF raw material supply, rather than merely expanding land use [1][2] Group 2 - The "Alcohol-to-Jet" pathway is more advantageous for agricultural and forestry residues compared to the Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) pathway, which has limitations due to its reliance on oils [2] - Indonesia aims to increase the SAF blending ratio to 2.5% by 2030 and 30% by 2050, while Thailand targets a 60% blending ratio by 2050 [2] - National airlines in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand have begun using SAF, marking significant progress in practical applications [2] Group 3 - The ASEAN Secretariat and partners emphasize the need for collaboration among governments, industry leaders, research institutions, and investors to create favorable policy frameworks and enhance technological capabilities [3] - Southeast Asia has the potential to become a key player in global SAF supply, ensuring regional energy security and contributing to global climate goals [3] - Challenges include policy coordination, technological innovation, and attracting investment to meet the funding needs for SAF industry expansion [3]
