flag Singapore introduces SAF levy on flights, funding sustainable fuel from waste to cut emissions.

flag Singapore has launched the region’s first sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) levy, charging 75 cents to $32 per ticket on flights from Changi Airport after October 1, with fees based on distance and cabin class. flag The revenue will support SAF production using waste materials like used cooking oil and agricultural residue, as Southeast Asia emerges as a key global hub. flag New facilities in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia are expanding output, with ASEAN projecting the region could produce up to 8.5 million barrels of SAF daily by 2050. flag The levy, transparently displayed on tickets, aims to advance sustainable aviation while maintaining affordability, though industry leaders stress ongoing government support is critical to meet global emissions goals.
