Abstract

The effort of Malaysia’s aviation industry to achieve carbon-neutral growth by 2050 proved to be a challenge since conventional jet fuels contribute to 13% of the transportation sector’s global carbon emissions. The main contributors to the difficulties are economic barriers and inadequate legal frameworks slowing the adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). Adopting doctrinal research methodology, this study aims to investigate the policies governing aviation fuel standards and emissions in Malaysia and offer legal reforms to incentivise the adoption of SAF to reduce the carbon impact of aviation in Malaysia. It also explores the contribution of Malaysia’s aviation sector to the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) efforts by aligning Malaysia’s aviation sector’s environmental sustainability efforts with international climate change mitigation efforts. This research highlighted the importance of policy implementation to govern aviation fuel standards and emissions for further legal reforms to incentivise the adoption of SAF. The paper suggests urgent action by the relevant parties to promote the widespread deployment of global jet fuel usage and SAF adherence.
