01 / OUR PURPOSE

A complex topic.
A shared understanding.

SAF Malaysia is an industry-led knowledge-sharing initiative with a simple purpose: make sustainable aviation fuel easier to understand, discuss and put into practice.

We connect perspectives from aviation, energy, finance, research and public policy. From first-time learners to decision-makers, everyone should have access to clear explanations, credible evidence and the questions that still need answers.

Our aim is to build the understanding that helps Malaysia and ASEAN develop informed policy and practical pathways for responsible SAF adoption.

Independent questions. An informed path forward.

We support responsible SAF adoption while examining costs, benefits and trade-offs. Our role is to inform debate, with no allegiance to a single company, feedstock or technology.

02 / THE SAF MALAYSIA PODCAST

One conversation a week.
A wider perspective all year.

Throughout 2027, we’ll sit down with people shaping the SAF ecosystem — from feedstock to flight, and from policy to investment.

A PREVIEW OF THE CONVERSATIONS

Explore the proposed themes. Guests and release dates will be announced before the 2027 launch.

03 / SAF, EXPLAINED

Start with the essentials.

Clear answers first. Deeper questions next.
Build your understanding, one topic at a time.

THE BASICS / 01

What is sustainable
aviation fuel?

SAF is aviation fuel made from renewable or waste-derived sources that meets sustainability criteria. Its environmental value depends on how it is made and sourced.

Explore the basics

“Sustainable” is a standard to demonstrate, not simply a label. The feedstock, production process and supply chain all matter.

Read ICAO’s SAF overview (opens in a new tab)
THE EVIDENCE / 02

Lower emissions.
Measured how?

SAF still produces emissions when burned. Its potential benefit is assessed across its lifecycle, from sourcing and production to transport and use.

Understand the evidence

Emissions savings vary by pathway. A credible comparison looks at the whole lifecycle and the assumptions behind the calculation.

THE REGIONAL LENS / 03

What matters for
Malaysia and ASEAN?

Our coverage will examine local supply chains, credible sustainability standards, affordability and the policy choices that can support adoption.

See the questions we’ll ask

How can demand grow responsibly? Which resources can be sourced sustainably? How can regional cooperation help? And how should costs and benefits be shared?

FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE

Our starting point: ICAO’s SAF guidance (opens in a new tab) and ATAG’s aviation resources (opens in a new tab). External references inform the discussion; they do not imply endorsement of this initiative.

04 / BEYOND THE FULL EPISODE

Keep the conversation
in your everyday feed.

A new idea each day. A moment worth sharing. We’ll turn complex topics into accessible explainers and bring you the key clips from every weekly conversation.

01

Daily SAF explainersGeneral knowledge, useful definitions and context for the headlines.

02

The moments that matterShort podcast clips, with links back to the full conversation.

03

Perspectives across the ecosystemIdeas from industry, researchers and policymakers, shared across our social channels.

Social channels will be announced before launch.

05 / PARTNER WITH SAF MALAYSIA

What could your support
make possible?

Help turn a complex transition into a conversation more people can join. Two ways to support credible, accessible SAF knowledge in Malaysia and ASEAN.

TAILORED TO YOUR OBJECTIVES

Let’s discuss your interests, timing and the most useful way to contribute. Placements, deliverables and availability are agreed in writing. Sponsorship does not include editorial control or a guaranteed guest appearance.

Let’s start a conversation.

For sponsorship, guest ideas and collaborations across Malaysia and ASEAN.

[email protected]

PARTNERSHIP QUESTIONS

Before we start
the conversation.

What does permanent recognition mean?

Initiative Sponsors receive a lasting acknowledgement on the initiative’s website. Campaign placements run for the agreed sponsorship period; the permanent acknowledgement remains separate from those placements. The exact location and wording will be set out in the sponsorship agreement.

Can we choose a topic or suggest a guest?

You are welcome to share areas of interest and suggest perspectives we should hear. The editorial team retains responsibility for topics, guest selection, questions and conclusions. Support is subject to editorial fit and availability.

Can we support more than one episode?

Yes. Tell us which themes interest you and your preferred timing. We can discuss support across multiple episodes while keeping the scope and recognition clear for each one.

What happens when we enquire?

Your email opens with the selected package already included. Add your organisation, interests and preferred timing, then send it to start a discussion. An enquiry does not commit you to sponsorship.

06 / BRING YOUR PERSPECTIVE

Whose voice should
we hear next?

Meaningful conversations start with people who have something to share. Recommend a speaker or put yourself forward for our 2027 podcast.

NOMINATE A SPEAKER

Know someone we
should interview?

Help us find the researchers, practitioners, policymakers and community voices asking important questions about SAF. A useful perspective matters more than a prominent title.

Tell us who they are, the question they could help answer and why their experience matters to the region.

Nominate a speaker
PUT YOURSELF FORWARD

Your experience could
move the conversation forward.

Working on a solution, researching a challenge or seeing the transition from a different angle? Share the evidence, lessons and questions you would bring to an interview.

Include your area of expertise and availability for an in-person recording in Malaysia.

Volunteer as a guest

Both options open a pre-filled email for you to review and send. Suggestions are considered for relevance, evidence and diversity of perspectives. Selection is editorial and does not require sponsorship. Please obtain permission before sharing someone else’s private contact details.

07 / CONNECT THE REGION

Bring the SAF conversation
to your event.

Planning a conference, industry forum or roundtable? Let’s explore how its insights can reach people across Malaysia and ASEAN — during the event and beyond.

IN THE ROOM

Interviews & conversations

Explore on-site podcast recordings, speaker interviews and moderated discussions that make complex topics accessible.

BEYOND THE VENUE

Content & explainers

Discuss short video clips, key takeaways and evidence-informed explainers that help audiences understand the issues.

ACROSS ASEAN

Regional knowledge sharing

Connect the lessons from your event with the wider SAF conversation through agreed website, podcast and social coverage.

What would you like your audience to understand?

Share your event, location, dates and the role you have in mind. We’ll discuss editorial fit, format, resources and availability.

Invite us to your event

Opens a pre-filled email. Participation and coverage are subject to agreement, availability and recording permissions. Paid partnerships are clearly identified; editorial conclusions remain independent.

08 / THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE PLATFORM

Trust is part
of the work.

Industry-led means bringing expertise to the table. Credibility means asking independent questions and being clear about who supports the conversation.

01

Evidence before claims

Reference primary sources, distinguish facts from views, and make uncertainty and trade-offs visible.

02

More than one perspective

Seek voices across the SAF ecosystem. Explain differing positions without treating every claim as equally supported.

03

Transparent support

Identify sponsors clearly. Keep sponsorship separate from guest views, questions and editorial conclusions.

04

Accountable publishing

Date published content, link to supporting evidence and make substantive corrections visible to readers.

Our editorial commitments guide the 2027 programme.

AN OPEN CONVERSATION. A SHARED FUTURE.

Better understanding is
where progress begins.
