00:00National Aviation De-Carbonisation Programme
00:04is a step taken by the Malaysian government
00:09to ensure that our Sustainability Agenda
00:14can be implemented in a well-organised manner
00:17with a clear plan, strategy and foundation
00:22so that it can support government and state efforts
00:27to achieve carbon emission by 2050.
00:32One of the main sectors that contributes to emissions
00:38is the air transport sector
00:40because every aircraft and aircraft carrier
00:44that flies has a high emission
00:48and this contributes to a high carbon emission.
00:53So, efforts to reduce emissions must start now
00:58even though the target is to reach net zero by 2050
01:02but efforts must continue and we must do it now.
01:09So, as a member state of the International Civil Aviation Organization
01:16and as a council member of the International Civil Aviation Organization
01:22we have the responsibility and obligation
01:25to support global efforts to support global warming.
01:32This is in line with the government's commitment
01:38through the Paris Agreement.
01:41This is why we work closely with the Ministry of Natural Resources
01:47and Eclihb
01:51so that we can work together to lay the foundation
01:58and through this blueprint there are several important stakeholders
02:03among which we need responsibility
02:09or cooperation from aviation companies.
02:11Aviation companies must try to reduce their carbon emissions
02:16in several ways.
02:18First, they must invest in technology
02:22and use more modern and new aircrafts
02:25because new aircrafts now have better fuel efficiency
02:31and the operational efficiency must be improved.
02:35But the most important thing in the direction of net zero
02:38is the use of SAF.
02:40But the use of SAF is not yet widespread.
02:43But there is a framework that we need to prepare
02:48for the future, maybe in a few years.
02:51That is for airline companies.
02:53The second is for airport operators.
02:55Airport operators in the airport
02:58must also be more efficient
03:00to ensure faster taxiways
03:03and ground electrification
03:05so that when aircrafts stop in the airport
03:09they can close the engines
03:11and have power from the airport ground electrification.
03:16That is the second.
03:18The third is in terms of air traffic management.
03:21Air traffic management involves the authorities
03:24especially the aviation authorities, CAMs.
03:27Because in air traffic management
03:29if we can speed up
03:31and have more efficient air traffic management
03:37if we can reduce the time for aircrafts to land
03:42it will of course reduce the burning of fuel
03:46and this will directly contribute to decarbonisation.
03:51So there are many aspects that we need to look at
03:55and everything is explained in the blueprint
03:58each role and government efforts
04:01government base
04:03and our strategy to achieve our goals.
04:07Everything is documented in a blueprint
04:13where the Ministry of Transport takes the initiative
04:16to ensure that we have a clear framework
04:20so that all stakeholders understand
04:22their respective roles
04:24and that is what we mean by
04:26the whole-of-government approach
04:28the whole-of-society approach
04:30to ensure that every stakeholder
04:32has their respective role in the instrument.
04:35And of course we stand guided by NRES
04:39to do what we should do
04:42in terms of decarbonisation
04:44and also towards net zero.
04:46The production of SAF will be led by Petronas
04:51and Petronas already has a plan
04:55and is also planning their strategy
04:58on how to produce SAF.
05:01And I understand from Petronas
05:03that their production can start as early as 2028
05:09so within the next 3-4 years
05:12they can have production.
05:14So by 2028
05:16SAF production will be able to enter the country.
05:22What are the advantages of using SAF
05:27and where do they get their resources?
05:30Currently there is no aviation company
05:32that uses SAF.
05:34We do not require the use of SAF.
05:38So the biggest challenge with SAF
05:40is in terms of price.
05:42Because the price of SAF
05:44is three times higher than the current jet fuel.
05:48The reason is the production is still quite slow.
05:53That is why we need to look at the supply side first
05:56before we talk about how to ensure
05:59that the aviation company uses SAF.
06:01That is why we do not require the use of SAF.
06:04And from a practical point of view
06:06our aviation company does not use SAF
06:08but production will start in 2028 by Petronas.
06:12We hope that by that time
06:15the price of SAF will go down
06:17to be more affordable for the aviation companies.
06:22But we have a different approach.
06:25It does not mean that we do not use SAF
06:27and we do not do anything about decarbonisation.
06:31That is because there is also a mechanism
06:34through carbon credit, COSIA and so on
06:37to offset their emissions
06:42and also operational efficiency.
06:44So we can do operational efficiency now.
06:46That means managing the airfield,
06:48managing the air traffic,
06:50we have air traffic controller and so on.
06:53We can do something to reduce this decarbonisation,
06:57this emission.
06:59For example, as I said,
07:01if we can ensure that our aircraft
07:03has a faster landing path,
07:05that can help.
07:07Partly.
07:08Not all, but partly.
07:10SAF will look at the strategy.
07:13But we cannot run away from SAF.
07:15In the long run,
07:17like it or not,
07:18the airlines have to adopt SAF.
