Malaysia's government is encouraging more local airlines to use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to reduce the rate of carbon emissions in the country, Business Today wrote.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said this was in line with the country’s efforts towards a low-carbon economy in addition to meeting commitments under the carbon offsetting and reduction scheme for the mandatory phase of international aviation (CORSIA), the article added.

“The aviation industry is the industry that has the highest rate of gas emissions and there are already countries in Europe that have made it mandatory for their airlines (to use SAF).

“… but in Malaysia, we have not yet reached that level. However, we will go in that direction (mandating the use of SAF),” he told a media conference at the Lang Merah Complex of the Langkawi International Airport, here, today.
