EcoCeres Inc. has inaugurated a renewable fuels facility in Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia. The plant was commissioned and began operations in October 2025. The facility produces sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) along with hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and renewable naphtha, with a combined maximum production capacity of 420,000 tonnes per year. The plant converts waste and residue inputs into renewable fuels for use across aviation, maritime, transportation, mining, and chemical sectors.
Furthermore, the facility aligns with Malaysia’s stated objective of expanding renewable fuel production and adopting waste-to-fuel pathways as part of its net-zero emissions target for 2050. Additionally, EcoCeres operates a renewable fuels plant in Zhangjiagang, China, which also produces SAF and HVO. With both facilities in operation, the company’s combined global renewable fuels production capacity stands at approximately 770,000 tonnes annually.
In December 2025, EcoCeres announced the departure of a shipment of SAF from Tanjung Langsat port in Johor, Malaysia, bound for Europe. The SAF was produced using 100 per cent waste-based feedstocks, including used cooking oil and other waste oils.
REGlobal’s Views: As airlines move towards reducing their emissions, SAF is now an important part of fuel mix for many companies. The demand for SAF continues to increase every year providing immense opportunities for technology companies like Hong Kong-based EcoCeres – which has now two operational SAF facilities to cater to the various markets.
