China's SAF Production Could Challenge Singapore's Refining Hub Role
What happened
China is increasing its production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which is largely made from waste oil gathered from eateries and food manufacturers across the country. This process involves tracking used cooking oil from kitchen to refinery using digital tools. China's push into SAF could position the country as a direct competitor to Singapore’s existing refining hub.
