188bet asia BSR launches new batch of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)

188bet asia ceremony was attended by representatives from 188bet asia Department of Industry and Trade, 188bet asia Department of Agriculture and Environment, Quang Ngai Provincial Police, and Vietnam Aviation Fuel Company Limited (Skypec). Representing BSR were Mr. Bui Ngoc Duong – Chairman of 188bet asia Board of Directors; Mr. Nguyen Viet Thang – General Director, along with members of 188bet asia Board of Directors, 188bet asia Executive Board, 188bet asia Supervisory Board, 188bet asia Refinery Management, heads of departments, and staff involved in SAF R&D and production.

188bet asia first SAF batch was produced using imported European feedstock and domestically produced Jet A-1 fuel from BSR. 188bet asia initial commercial recipient was Vietnam Aviation Fuel Company Limited (Skypec), which will supply 188bet asia fuel to Vietnam Airlines flights.

On March 31, 2025, BSR was granted two key certifications: ISCC CORSIA and ISCC EU by SGS Germany GmbH. These globally recognized certifications cover blending, production, storage, and commercialization of SAF. In parallel, BSR also completed its technical documentation, internal production and blending processes, and established its corporate standard TCCS 23:2024-BSR.

Holding ISCC certification enables BSR to export SAF to international markets, particularly 188bet asia EU, where emissions and renewable energy standards are among 188bet asia world’s strictest. These certifications affirm BSR’s commitment to sustainable, environmentally responsible production and serve as a foundation for expanding strategic partnerships and commercial contracts with sustainability-focused stakeholders.

To prepare for production and commercialization, BSR finalized 188bet asia SAF blending scheme, upgraded infrastructure at 188bet asia tank truck loading station and storage facilities, and completed product quality management and testing protocols at 188bet asia refinery.

BSR also collaborated closely with Skypec, airlines, and logistics providers to develop a pilot SAF supply chain—from transportation and fueling to quality control at delivery points.

“This event signifies 188bet asia establishment of Vietnam’s first closed-loop SAF supply chain—from feedstock import, blending, and quality control to distribution to aviation fuel providers and airline operations. Moving forward, BSR plans to scale up SAF production and begin full-scale commercialization in Q4/2025,” said Mr. Hoang Thanh Son, Head of BSR’s Research and Development Department.

Speaking at 188bet asia ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Viet Thang - General Director of BSR emphasized: “In response to global energy transition trends and Vietnam’s Net Zero carbon commitment, BSR has outlined a roadmap to develop and produce SAF using existing infrastructure. Our SAF is blended from sustainable base components (SBC/Neat SAF) and Jet A-1, developed in accordance with Jet A-1 standards and enhanced with ASTM D7566 specifications to ensure suitability for aviation turbine engines. This product has been included in 188bet asia list of Petrovietnam’s key energy solutions.”

188bet asia successful sale of 188bet asia first 5% SAF blend confirms that BSR’s systems for production, blending, and quality management meet 188bet asia standards required for SAF supply. It also demonstrates 188bet asia integration of 188bet asia entire value chain—from production to blending and distribution—with all stakeholders ISCC-certified. This serves as a critical foundation for 188bet asia future development of SAF in line with global energy transition goals and Vietnam’s climate commitments.

“This milestone affirms Petrovietnam’s determination to implement Resolution 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation. We are proud to be among 188bet asia first to commercialize SAF, contributing clean energy solutions to 188bet asia aviation sector in Vietnam and beyond,” Mr. Nguyen Viet Thang reiterated.

As part of its SAF development roadmap, BSR is also expanding international cooperation. In March 2025, BSR signed a consulting agreement for a pre-feasibility study on SAF production with Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), a global leader in energy technology and engineering consulting, in 188bet asia United States.

188bet asia successful delivery of this SAF batch is a landmark achievement in BSR’s mission to develop sustainable energy products. At 188bet asia ceremony, delegates witnessed 188bet asia handover of SAF products—accompanied by quality certification—from Dung Quat Refinery to Skypec, for use on Vietnam Airlines flights. This also reflects BSR’s commitment to energy transition and 188bet asia long-term vision of building a green, sustainable refinery.
