With CORSIA about to go mandatory and Europe tightening the screws on carbon and even contrails, Indonesian aviation needs more than slide decks. So, on 19 August, VURDHAAN and DGCA Indonesia ran a full-day, hands-on session for airlines, fuel suppliers and regulators. Here’s what mattered:
1. CORSIA Offsetting — Be SGF-Ready
Participants modelled draft Sector-Growth Factor scenarios to see how a one-point SGF swing can inflate offset demand by double digits. Finance teams left with “watch windows” for the October release.
2. CEU & CEF in Real Numbers
Using live fleet data, teams converted tonnes of SAF into CEF credits that wipe out CEU offset obligations — proving that high-saving fuels pay for themselves.
3. EU ETS & the New Non-CO₂ Rules
The workshop unpacked the phasing out allowances and the fresh 2025 mandate to monitor contrails and NOx under EU ETS MRV. Early data-granularity means fewer retrofit headaches.
4. ReFuelEU Mandate: Why 2 % Matters
From 2025 every kilogram of fuel uplifted at EU hubs must contain at least 2 % SAF, ramping steeply thereafter. Indonesian carriers flying to Europe now have a clear cost curve — and a supply hedge.
5. Book-&-Claim Powered by Pertamina
Pertamina’s inaugural 32 kL batch of SAF from used cooking oil, produced at its Cilacap refinery (capacity ≈ 1,400 kL/day), opens the door to local purchase with global crediting. Airlines can fund Indonesian SAF, retire the certificates, and apply the reduction to EU flights — slashing both CEU offsets and ReFuelEU penalties.
