Indonesia has commenced commercial flights using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) made from used cooking oil, marking the country's first domestic SAF flight. State-owned PT Pertamina is co-processing this biofuel at its refineries and aims to boost production capacity, supported by a 9.5% export tax on used cooking oil. The initiative seeks to enhance domestic biofuel production and achieve a 1% SAF blending target by 2027, leveraging revenue from the export tax.
