Indonesia to Blend 1% Waste Cooking Oil in Aviation Fuel

The Ministry of Transportation aims to include at least 1% waste cooking oil in aviation fuel to avoid carbon tax penalties.

The target is to incorporate waste cooking oil into aviation fuel as a measure to avoid international flight carbon tax penalties, said Sokhib Al Rohman, Director of Airworthiness and Aircraft Operations at the Ministry of Transportation.

Indonesia aims to adopt waste cooking oil as a raw material for bioaviation fuel by 2027, as countries like the Netherlands will impose a penalty of EUR 190 per passenger on aircraft that do not use environmentally friendly or Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) starting next year.
