More plans under way for Malaysian HVO/SAF plant
Singapore, 15 March (Argus) — A Malaysian consortium is planning a 250,000 t/yr hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant on a 10 hectare plot at the Sapangar Bay container port in Malaysia's Sabah state.
Trading company Vandelay Ventures and port operator Suria Capital Holdings have signed an initial deal to build the 1bn ringgit ($238mn) Sabah Maju Jaya renewable energy industrial complex, which will also host a 30,000t edible oil bulking terminal and 100,000 t/yr palm oil refinery.
Palm producers Sawit Kinabalu and the Sabah Land Development Board will supply raw materials with Switzerland-based engineering firm Sulzer Chemtech providing technology expertise.
This is the second palm oil-based HVO/SAF site announced for Malaysia after China's state-owned Shanxi Construction Investment Group and the Malaysian Palm Oil Board began work on a plant in Johor state at the end of last year, although its capacity and start-up date are unknown.
