ASAFA officially launches activities to boost SAF production across Asia
In Singapore, the Asia Sustainable Aviation Fuel Association (ASAFA) was officially launched, with the goal of accelerating the adoption of SAF across Asia. Supported by pioneer members like Korean Air, 1PointFive, DHL Group, Bureau Veritas, Marquis Energy Global, EU-ASEAN Business Council, SkyNRG, PT. Green Energi Utama and Quantum Commodity Intelligence. ASAFA aims to harmonize policies, enhance market frameworks, and boost public awareness of SAF in key regions, including Southeast Asia, South Korea, Japan, India, and China. “We are placing Asia at the heart of our efforts by driving policies that resolve market inefficiencies, attract investments, and establish SAF as a viable decarbonization option for the aviation industry, making Asia a leader in SAF for net-zero aviation,” said ASAFA CEO Fabrice Espinosa. ASAFA said its main mission is to build a collaborative ecosystem addressing the SAF value chain’s core challenges by uniting feedstock providers, technology licensors, fuel aggregators, biofuel producers, airlines, investors and policy-makers. The association will host monthly webinars, in-person workshops, closed-door dialogues, technical field trips, and produce industry white papers to advance SAF in Asia.
