- The partnership focuses on securing suitable feedstock and SAF offtake agreements, showcasing Sarawak's commitment to decarbonization and clean fuel manufacturing.
- Apeiron Bioenergy will establish a UCO collection ecosystem in Sarawak, aligning with the region's circular economy and renewable energy objectives.
- Oiltek Sdn Bhd's support, with expertise in biodiesel and renewable energy projects, further strengthens the development of the SAF pilot plant in Sarawak.
SEDCE Energy is leading the development of a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) pilot plant in Sarawak in partnership with Sulzer and Apeiron Bioenergy. The plant, with an initial capacity of 15,000 tonnes per annum, aims to meet the growing regional demand for SAF. The collaboration focuses on ensuring a steady supply of feedstock and securing SAF offtake agreements. Apeiron Bioenergy will work on establishing a sustainable used cooking oil (UCO) collection ecosystem, in line with Sarawak's circular economy and renewable energy goals. Oiltek Sdn Bhd, with a strong track record in biodiesel and renewable energy projects, is also supporting the SAF program. The initiative highlights Sarawak's commitment to global aviation decarbonization efforts and clean fuel manufacturing. The project's use of hydrogen in the SAF production process aligns with Sarawak's broader hydrogen value chain ambitions. As the global aviation industry transitions towards low-carbon fuels, the SAF pilot plant project positions Sarawak as a key player in the global clean energy value chain, supporting the aviation sector's climate goals. The collaboration between SEDCE, Sulzer, Apeiron Bioenergy, and Oiltek signifies a significant step towards sustainable aviation fuel development in the region.
