Star Consulting promotes the development of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at the ASEAN Sustainability Forum 2026
On October 7, 2026, Star Consulting, representing the Asia Sustainable Aviation Fuel Association (ASAFA), attended the 10th ASEAN Sustainability Forum in Da Nang.
The event provided a platform for ASEAN representatives, international organizations such as ICAO and IATA, and major aviation corporations like Boeing and Airbus to discuss the sustainable development orientation of the aviation industry. Notably, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) was recognized as one of the critical solutions for reducing emissions and accelerating the green transition.
For Star Consulting, the forum not only offered an opportunity to gain regional and international perspectives but also opened up new avenues for collaboration to bring SAF from commitments and policy orientations to practical application in Vietnam.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) - An ecosystem challenge
Developing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is not just about finding an alternative fuel; it requires coordination among multiple stakeholders across the value chain - spanning policy, technology, raw materials, logistics, finance, and aviation operators.
The challenge lies not only in production capacity but also in ensuring a stable supply, scaling up, and optimizing costs. Therefore, collaboration among stakeholders is a crucial prerequisite for moving SAF from research and testing to commercial deployment.
Opportunities for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) development in Vietnam and ASEAN
Within the green transition landscape of the aviation industry, ASEAN, including Vietnam, holds significant potential to participate more deeply in the SAF value chain.
Abundant raw materials, production capabilities, logistics systems, and connectivity to regional aviation markets are factors that can establish a solid foundation for SAF development. However, transforming this potential into reality requires suitable cooperation models among businesses, investors, technology providers, and policymakers.
Vietnam not only has the opportunity to participate as a raw material supplier but can also progressively build capacity in producing, supplying, and utilizing SAF, thereby contributing to the formation of a sustainable aviation fuel value chain in the region.
This was also a key point of interest during the discussions at the ASEAN Sustainability Forum 2026: How can sustainability commitments be translated into feasible and practically implementable projects?
Star Consulting connects collaboration opportunities for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Development
As the ASAFA representative in Vietnam and backed by experience in sustainable development, Star Consulting is proud to participate in the forum, engaging with international organizations and partners on new directions for the aviation sector.
The forum was not only an occasion to share experiences and expand networks but also sparked numerous collaborative opportunities to transition SAF from guidelines and commitments to concrete projects in Vietnam and the ASEAN region. This also presented an opportunity for Star Consulting to leverage its expertise, connecting partners and resources to promote solutions tailored to real-world conditions.
Developing SAF is a long journey that requires the collective effort of the entire ecosystem. Star Consulting looks forward to continuing its role as a bridge, fostering practical cooperation opportunities, and helping to make sustainable aviation fuel a definitive part of the future for the aviation industry in Vietnam and ASEAN.
Star Consulting believes that major opportunities begin with connection and collaboration. We are eager to continue partnering with businesses, organizations, and stakeholders interested in SAF to jointly discover feasible solutions for developing a sustainable aviation fuel ecosystem in Vietnam.
