Thailand's Bangchak in late April held an official grand-opening ceremony for its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility in Thailand. Bangchak has built the SAF production facility at its Phra Khanong Refinery, located around 30 km east of Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport.

This is the first neat SAF facility in Thailand that meets the requirements of an international certification program (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification, ISCC) in all processes from sourcing raw materials such as waste cooking oil to production and logistics. It has a maximum production capacity of 1 mil liters per day, and it appears that about 60% of the production has been sold under long-term contracts so far. SAF is an aviation fuel produced from waste and renewable energy, and is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Princess Royal Maha Chakri Sirindhorn participated in the ceremony as a state guest.
