Our Path to Zero Emissions

 

Decarbonising Aviation

We recognise the urgent need to decarbonise the aviation industry. PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad is at the forefront of this effort, aligning with international policies and initiatives such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).

 

Sustainable Feedstock

Our SAF production relies on sustainably sourced feedstocks. We prioritise waste materials and non-food biomass to ensure minimal environmental impact and avoid competition with food resources. Our partnerships with key UCO (Used Cooking Oil) collection companies secure a steady supply of sustainable feedstock.

 

Technology Pathways

We are committed to exploring and developing advanced technology pathways to convert sustainable feedstocks into SAF. Our primary focus is on Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) pathway, and we are actively researching other promising pathways to ensure efficient production processes that meet the stringent requirements set by CORSIA.

HEFA

 

This well-established process uses waste oils and fats to produce jet fuel. The HEFA process is efficient and scalable, making it a cornerstone of SAF production.

Alcohol-to-Jet (AtJ)

 

This pathway involves converting alcohols, such as ethanol, into jet fuel through chemical reactions. The AtJ process offers flexibility, as it can utilise a wide range of alcohol-based feedstocks.

Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

 

Utilising biomass or waste materials, this process involves gasifying the feedstock and converting the resulting syngas into liquid fuels. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is highly versatile, allowing for the use of various feedstock types.

Gasification

 

Solid biomass is transformed into syngas, which is then processed into liquid fuels. This pathway is particularly effective for utilising waste materials, providing a sustainable solution for waste management.

Policies

We adhere to international and national policies aimed at reducing aviation emissions:

Offtake Agreements

We provide Offtake Agreements, securing future supplies of SAF for airlines. These agreements help airlines plan their long-term decarbonisation strategies and ensure a reliable supply of sustainable fuel. Key features of our Offtake Agreements include:

 

Flexible Pricing

Pricing is agreed upon entering specific Fuel Supply Agreements.

Volume Commitment

Volume requirements for production planning are prioritised.

Priority Access

Airlines with Offtake Agreements will be prioritised when SAF becomes available in 2027.
