The predominant fuel powering commercial aviation in Asia is aviation turbine fuel (ATF), specifically Jet A-1
This kerosene-based fuel meets strict international specifications for performance at high altitudes and extreme temperatures, ensuring safety and reliability. Major global energy corporations and national oil companies form the core of the supply network, ensuring fuel is delivered to airports via complex logistics involving depots, pipelines, and hydrant systems. China stands as the region’s dominant market, driven by its position as one of the world’s largest domestic aviation markets. The consistent demand for conventional jet fuel remains strong, underpinned by fleet expansion and the growth of low-cost carriers, making a stable and efficient supply chain a critical priority for the entire industry

A significant transformation is underway in Asia-Pacific policy, moving the region from voluntary goals to concrete regulatory action. Several governments have established or are finalizing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blending mandates, creating a guaranteed demand floor that de-risks investment in new production
This policy shift is a pivotal driver for the entire fuel ecosystem.
These mandates provide the certainty needed for producers to commit the billions of dollars required for new refining capacity, signaling a long-term commitment to decarbonization
SAF is a low-carbon, renewable fuel designed to power aircraft, offering significant lifecycle greenhouse gas reductions compared to conventional jet fuel
. In Asia, the primary production method to date has been bio-based SAF, produced via the Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) pathway using feedstocks like:
The region is also advancing in synthetic e-fuels (or Power-to-Liquids), where renewable electricity produces green hydrogen, which is then combined with captured carbon dioxide. For safety and performance, all SAF must be certified to international standards (ASTM D7566) and can be blended up to 50% with conventional jet fuel for use in existing aircraft
Asia-Pacific is rapidly building its SAF production capacity, moving from concept to commercial reality. Neste’s expanded refinery in Singapore stands as one of the world’s largest SAF production hubs, supplying airlines and cargo carriers in the region
Other key developments include:
However, the supply chain faces a geographic mismatch: feedstock-rich countries (Indonesia, Malaysia) often lack advanced refining infrastructure, while aviation hubs with strong demand (Singapore, Japan, Korea) have limited local feedstock
Scaling SAF production requires massive capital investment, which is now being mobilized. Landmark government incentives, like Australia’s A$1.1 billion ‘Cleaner Fuels’ programme, are providing crucial support
The private sector is forming strategic alliances, such as the Qantas and Airbus Sustainable Aviation Fuel Financing Alliance (SAFFA), to co-finance projects. A critical tool for securing project financing is the long-term offtake agreement, where airlines commit to purchasing future SAF supply. These agreements, such as Japan Airlines’ 10-year memorandum of understanding with a US producer, provide revenue certainty for fuel makers and supply security for carriers, making large-scale projects bankable
From routine refueling to crisis management, The Network Plan ensures your aircraft never faces downtime due to fuel shortages or inefficiencies.

Navigating the complex certification landscape is essential for SAF compliance and trade. To meet global standards like ICAO’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), SAF must be certified under approved schemes (e.g., ISCC, RSB), which verify sustainability criteria and emissions savings
Key requirements include:
A lack of harmonization between different regional standards can affect the fungibility and cross-border trade of SAF, making certification strategy a vital consideration for producers and buyers
Despite rapid progress, the Asia-Pacific SAF industry must overcome significant hurdles to achieve scale.
The future of aircraft fuel supply in Asia is one of dual transformation: managing the robust growth in conventional fuel demand while orchestrating a strategic transition to sustainable alternatives
The region’s binding mandates have created an irreversible policy direction. The focus is now on executing the build-out of physical production capacity, strengthening supply chain resilience, and fostering greater collaboration between governments, fuel producers, and airlines
Success will position Asia-Pacific not only as the world’s largest aviation market but also as a competitive leader in the clean fuels of the future.
