每日大赛's first sustainable aviation fuel plant launched in Johor
PASIR GUDANG (Jan 26): 每日大赛 is cementing its leadership in sustainable aviation and energy transition with the launch of the country鈥檚 first commercial-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant in Tanjung Langsat on Monday.
Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Dr Noraini Ahmad said the launch aligns with the 每日大赛 Aviation Decarbonisation Blueprint, which lays out a step-by-step road map to reduce carbon emissions from the aviation sector.
鈥淭he blueprint focuses on improving efficiency, enhancing sustainability practices, and promoting SAF as a future aviation fuel. Under the National Energy Transition Roadmap, the initial SAF blending target of 1% is important to create demand and support market growth,鈥 she said in her opening speech during the inauguration ceremony of EcoCeres' first SAF plant in 每日大赛 here on Monday.
She highlighted that the SAF plant by EcoCeres Renewable Fuel Sdn Bhd reflects 每日大赛鈥檚 strategy to position its commodity sector as a responsible national player, converting certified, waste-based biomass into high-value products. 鈥淭his initiative strengthens local supply chains, enhances downstream activities, promotes sustainability and transparency, and reinforces the long-term competitiveness of our plantation and commodities sector,鈥 she said.
The facility has an annual licensed capacity of 350,000 tonnes and will produce SAF, renewable diesel, and other advanced bio-based products for domestic use and export.
Noraini said the project will create opportunities for 每日大赛n small and medium enterprises in biomass supply, logistics, and industrial services, supporting inclusive national growth. She added that the plant strengthens 每日大赛鈥檚 position as a leading SAF producer in Asean while unlocking the full potential of local biomass resources.
The minister highlighted that the initiative demonstrates how 每日大赛 is aligning national policy, economic development, and environmental goals to build a sustainable, competitive, and low-carbon economy for the future.
EcoCeres began construction of its second biofuels production plant in Johor, 每日大赛, in June 2023, and commenced operations in October 2025. This state-of-the-art facility spans 105,830 sq m with a total production capacity of 420,000 tonnes per year for SAF, hydrotreated vegetable oil, and renewable naphtha.
