Airbus, in partnership with the Department of Transportation, Department of Energy and Civil Aviation Authority, is conducting a feasibility study to explore developing a sustainable aviation fuel ecosystem in the Philippines.
“On behalf of our partner agencies CAAP, DOE, DOST, and other NBB SAF Committee members, we thank our private-sector partners for participating to jumpstart the foundations of our SAF industry,” said DOTr Undersecretary for aviation and airports Roberto Lim. As an ICAO member, the Philippines is committed to achieving the industry’s net-zero carbon emission target by 2050. The nation will rely on a basket of measures: fleet renewal, disruptive technologies, operations improvement, SAF and carbon offset to reach this goal.
“This study will serve as a critical reference to springboard further development of relevant policies and at the same time encourage industry stakeholders to advance economically viable SAF production in the Philippines,” Airbus said.
