Hong Kong-based renewable fuels producer EcoCeres Inc. has inaugurated Malaysia’s first sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility at Pasir Gudang, Johor, marking the commissioning of the country’s first commercial SAF plant. The facility was commissioned and began operations in October 2025.
The plant produces sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and renewable naphtha, with a combined maximum capacity of 420,000 tonnes per year. It converts waste and residue feedstocks into low-carbon fuels to serve the aviation, maritime, road transport, mining and chemical sectors.
The Johor facility supports Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap and National Agri-commodity Policy (DAKN) 2030, contributing to the country’s net-zero by 2050 target. Along with EcoCeres’ existing renewable fuels plant in Zhangjiagang, China, the company’s total global renewable fuels capacity now stands at around 770,000 tonnes per year, positioning EcoCeres as a major SAF producer in Asia.
