aster aether new sustainable aviation fuel launch
About this Werk
Refining and chemicals player Aster and startup Aether Fuels will develop a plant to produce sustainable aviation fuel on Pulau Bukom – the first such facility in South-east Asia to convert waste industrial gases into green fuel for airplanes. This is the first in the region.
Construction of the plant, dubbed “Project Beacon”, will commence in 2026. It will begin commercial operations in 2028. The plant will be located at Aster’s refining hub on Pulau Bukom, which it took over from Shell in April.
The move comes amid a deal spree by Aster – a joint venture between Indonesia’s Chandra Asri and commodities trader Glencore. The company has set aside US$2 billion for investments in Singapore.
