Sarawak Takes Flight Towards Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production

Sarawak is taking a significant step towards producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through a microalgae project. The Chitose Carbon Capture Central (C4) Sarawak facility, located at the Sejingkat Power Plant, is expected to produce 45 tonnes of SAF per year, along with 192 tonnes of protein and 52 tonnes of carbohydrates, which have potential therapeutic properties. The project, which began in 2020, is led by Japan’s Chitose Group in collaboration with Sarawak Energy Bhd (SEB) and Sarawak Biodiversity Centre (SBC). The microalgae project is expected to pave the way for a new green initiative that benefits the people, creates jobs,
