Sustainability of bio-jetfuel in Malaysia

Aviation represents a small but growing share of global CO2 emissions (2-3%) and Southeast Asia is where this industry grows the fastest. The industry targets 50% reduction in net CO2 emission by 2050 and will need at least 2 million tonnes of biofuel by 2020. The book examines various pathways from biomass to bio-jetfuel. It assesses potential ligno-cellulosic biomass and other non-aviation biofuels in Malaysia. Oil palm paddy rubberwood sugarcane coconut and wood feedstocks are detailed analysed and quantified.
