The Malaysian Palm Oil Board asserted that palm oil is suitable for direct blending into aviation fuel and therefore advocates its approval by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which currently only accepts palm fatty acid distillate as palm oil-based feedstock for aviation biofuel. ICAO determined that, from 2027, blending of aviation fuel with biofuel would start to become mandatory across the globe.
