The Asia Pacific region is poised to play a significant role in the global transition towards sustainable aviation, driven by the growing demand for environmentally friendly fuel options and stringent government regulations. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) has emerged as a vital solution in this journey, offering a viable alternative to traditional jet fuel and promising to reduce the carbon footprint of the aviation sector. According to a new report by UnivDatos Market Insights, the Asia Pacific Market for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Market was valued at USD 92.01 million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 2,628.76 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 41.0%.

Regulatory Landscape and Government Initiatives
Over the last few years, Asia Pacific governments have begun realizing the need to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, specifically from airlines. Consequently, they have been advancing different regulatory activities and introducing programs to use SAF as one of the other measures geared towards attaining carbon neutralization and fighting significant climate change. For instance, in October 2023, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) released the 13-page “Green Aviation Manufacturing Development Outline (2023-2035).” China has now joined the U.S. and the EU in releasing plans to develop green aviation, unlike the U.S. and EU plans and those adopted by the global aviation industry. IATA’s plan to Fly Net Zero by 2050 has four parts, starting with a goal to shift the international fleet of aircraft to burning Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Additionally, in 2024, Japan has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and has proposed a 10% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) target by 2030 to support the decarbonization of the aviation industry.
These Government-led programs are crucial in advancing sustainable aviation fuel consumption in the Asia Pacific region. With the intended goals and measures for promoting research and investment in SAF, governments are inspiring the necessary decarbonization of the avian industry and supporting the use of cleaner fuels. Furthermore, such measures provide clear signals to all actors in the industry and investors regarding priorities, one of which is ensuring that sustainable technologies and methods are given priority.
Strategic Partnerships and Investments
The Asia Pacific Sustainable Aviation Fuel market has witnessed a surge in strategic partnerships and investments, further driving the adoption of this technology. Major airlines in the region have forged partnerships with SAF producers to secure long-term supply agreements and support the scaling up of production. For instance, in 2024, the Singapore Airlines (SIA) group acquired 1,000 tons of neat sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from Neste, marking the first direct supply of Neste SAF produced in Singapore to airlines at Changi Airport. SIA and its LCC subsidiary Scoot will use blended fuel. Additionally, in 2024, Indian biofuels technology company GPS Renewables partnered with SAF One, a new Dubai-based producer of sustainable aviation fuels, to develop SAF in India, the world’s third-largest aviation market and one of the fastest-growing. Through their latest collaboration, SAF One and ARYA, the Indian company’s project platform, will jointly develop a new SAF plant in India capable of producing 20-30 million liters of low-carbon fuel per year by converting lignocellulosic waste feedstock, or low-value agricultural by-products. Furthermore, the companies in the region have partnered with companies with carbon emissions reduction technologies, which further propels the market. For instance, Topsoe, a renowned expert in carbon emission reduction technologies worldwide, has forged a partnership with Guangxi Hongkun Biomass. The collaboration entails deploying Topsoe's HydroFlex™ technology for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production at Guangxi Hongkun Biomass' facility in the Qinzhou Port Area Free Trade Pilot Zone of Guangxi, China. Topsoe is set to supply its HydroFlex™ technology for the endeavor, aimed at processing an estimated 300,000 tons of feedstock annually.

Technological Advancements and Innovation
The primary factor affecting the Asia Pacific SAF market is technological advancement, which has been the main push towards its development. In 2021, the Japanese aviation industry stakeholders completed a test flight with airplanes operated by Japan Airlines and manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries that were powered by SAF derived from used cooking oil. It was a significant step towards proving that a range of feedstocks can be locally sourced to produce SAF, setting the tone for more efficiency-oriented initiatives.
