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.
