The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines is stepping up efforts to bring cleaner fuel into the country’s aviation sector, pushing for the adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to help cut carbon emissions.
SAF can reduce aviation emissions by as much as 65 to 80 percent and can be safely blended with traditional jet fuel—making it a practical option as the industry looks for greener alternatives.
To move things forward, CAAP joined forces with industry players for the 2026 Sustainable Aviation Fuel Policy Development Workshop held at the National Aviation Academy of the Philippines on March 24.
Discussions zeroed in on what it will take to make SAF work locally—from raw material supply and production technology to regulatory support, airline participation, and investment opportunities.
One advantage for the Philippines? Its strong agricultural sector. Waste from rice and coconut production can potentially be converted into aviation fuel, giving the country a solid starting point for the transition.
CAAP Director Raul L Del Rosario said the agency is committed to making SAF more accessible through collaboration between government, industry, and private partners, all aimed at building a more sustainable aviation sector.
