Philippines Civil Aviation Authority Advances Sustainable Aviation Fuel Adoption
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) targets a reduction of carbon emissions in aviation by 65-80% through sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The transition leverages the country's agricultural outputs, particularly rice and coconut, for fuel production.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) is pursuing the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to achieve a carbon emissions reduction target of 65-80%. The agency emphasizes the potential of the local agricultural sector, particularly rice and coconut byproducts, in producing SAF.
On March 24, 2026, CAAP held the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Policy Development Workshop to address critical factors such as feedstock availability, production technology, and investment opportunities. This initiative aims to enhance collaboration among government, industry, and private partners, positioning the Philippines for a sustainable aviation future. The success of SAF adoption could mitigate environmental impacts while supporting local agricultural economies.
