FatHopes Energy announced Feb. 5 the completion of a feasibility study for its integrated sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) refinery project in Malaysia, conducted by FGE NexantECA.
The project is now ready to advance to its next phase, according to FatHopes Energy.
“Securing the SAF pathway landscape and ensuring that the world’s first integrated SAF refinery is ready to operate in full compliance with regulations and standards—particularly with regard to end‑to‑end feedstock traceability—is critically important,” said Vinesh Sinha, CEO of FatHopes Energy. “Therefore, the role of FGE NexantECA is essential in validating that the overall SAF ecosystem can be met prior to the development of the refinery.”
FGE NexantECA has been working with FatHopes Energy since 2025 to conduct a feasibility study designed to establish a robust comparative assessment of major SAF production sites around the world, with this project, according to FatHopes Energy, emerging as one of the most competitive globally.
The scope of work encompasses detailed evaluations of technology-readiness levels, pathway‑specific cost structures, lifecycle emissions-reduction potential and the regulatory and policy frameworks that influence project viability and deployment strategies.
Through this feasibility study, FGE NexantECA delivered a rigorous, data‑driven analysis of the global SAF market structure and its evolving demand dynamics.
The resulting insights enable FatHopes Energy and Bin Zayed Group International to undertake evidence‑based strategic planning, strengthen risk‑mitigation frameworks and position themselves to capitalize on emerging opportunities across the SAF value chain.
“It’s time to act, delaying action compromises the viability of future decarbonization needs,” Sinha added. “This refinery is not being developed solely for FatHopes Energy—it is an infrastructure asset intended to serve the wider community and contribute meaningfully to long‑term climate mitigation. With greenhouse-gas concentrations continuing to rise at an accelerating rate, the window for effective intervention is narrowing rapidly.”
FatHopes Energy began with a vision to transform the aviation sector through a circular‑economy model anchored in community participation.
Today, that vision has evolved into a regional ecosystem—empowering households, communities, municipalities and merchants while strengthening Southeast Asia’s circular economy through scalable renewable energy solutions supported by proprietary end‑to‑end digital systems that ensure full traceability.
