    FINNISH company Neste is putting Singapore on the global map for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with a plant that will make Singapore the world’s largest SAF-producing country in 2023.

    The refinery in Tuas will be capable of rolling out 1 million tonnes a year. It will also dramatically increase the current capacity of Neste, which is already the world’s largest SAF producer at 100,000 tonnes a year.

    Including its Rotterdam plant, Neste will boast a total capacity of 1.5 million tonnes or about 1.8 billion litres of biofuel for the aviation industry by the end of 2023.
