On August 15, Petrolimex and Petrolimex Aviation announced the official availability of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at Nha Be Petroleum Depot in Ho Chi Minh City. At the same event, they signed a cooperation agreement on SAF consumption with Vietjet Aviation and Associated Energy Group LLC. The initiative is part of Petrolimex’s 70th anniversary celebrations and marks a milestone in Vietnam’s green aviation journey.

SAF is widely regarded as the most effective solution for reducing carbon emissions in aviation, helping the industry progress toward the global net-zero target by 2050. Petrolimex is the first company in Vietnam to import synthetic blending components (SBC) from renewable resources and to master SAF blending technology in line with international standards such as EI 1533, ASTM D7566, DEF STAN 91-091, and Vietnam’s TCVN 14414:2025.

Petrolimex Aviation has already supplied SAF to domestic commercial flights, demonstrating the practicality and readiness of green fuel in the Vietnamese market. Recognized as a flagship project for Petrolimex’s anniversary, the SAF blending system at Nha Be represents a significant step forward for sustainable aviation in Southeast Asia.
