    DEMAND for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Asia-Pacific is picking up, but its use is still limited by the number of airports in the region that supply the green fuel.

    Countries and companies are therefore racing to build up the capabilities and capacity to produce and offer SAF, and Singapore stands a good chance of shining as an SAF hub.

    Among the major players in the region are oil majors such as Shell, BP and ExxonMobil, as well as oil refining company Neste.
