Neste, ITOCHU and GS Caltex collaborate to make the primary batch of CORSIA-certified sustainable aviation gasoline out there for buy in Japan.
Neste, ITOCHU and GS Caltex have collaborated to make the primary batch of CORSIA-eligible ISCC-certified sustainable aviation gasoline (SAF) out there for buy at Narita Worldwide Airport in Japan. That is the primary time that CORSIA-certified SAF was made out there for airways’ common buy at business scale, properly forward of the beginning of CORSIA’s obligatory section in 2027.
As a part of the collaboration, Neste equipped over 1,000 tons of neat (i.e. unblended) CORSIA-eligible and ISCC-certified Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Gasoline™ to the refinery of GS Caltex in Yeosu, South Korea to be blended with standard jet gasoline. This marked the primary time SAF was blended regionally in South Korea. The blended SAF was then transported to Japan for ITOCHU to provide it into the gasoline storage services at Narita Worldwide Airport. The primary batch of the gasoline might be supplied to All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan Airways (JAL).
Alexander Kueper, Vice President, Renewable Aviation Enterprise at Neste, stated:
Sustainable aviation gasoline is a available resolution for lowering greenhouse fuel emissions from air journey.
“CORSIA-eligible SAF supplies airways like ANA and JAL a chance to credibly cut back aviation emissions. This milestone reveals how we’re working along with companions like ITOCHU and GS Caltex in addition to native governments to develop the availability chains for SAF to make the gasoline much more available within the Asia-Pacific area and world wide. We’re wanting ahead to additional increasing our cooperation with our companions to extend our provide of SAF to airways,”
Tetsuya Yamada, Government Officer, Chief Working Officer, Vitality Division at ITOCHU Company, stated:
In collaboration with Neste and GS Caltex – our trusted companions – we have now efficiently established a groundbreaking provide chain for the supply of CORSIA Eligible Gasoline to airports in Japan.
“We firmly consider that this initiative will considerably contribute to resolving the aviation gasoline scarcity in Japan. Moreover, it marks a pivotal step in the direction of the decarbonization of the aviation trade. Trying forward, we’re devoted to working alongside Neste and GS Caltex to make sure a constant provide of aviation gasoline whereas advancing our shared purpose of decarbonization,”
S. H. Lee, Government Vice President, Head of Provide & Buying and selling Enterprise Unit at GS Caltex, stated:
This can be a nice instance of working collectively to assist obtain aviation’s net-zero carbon emissions purpose, the place Neste, ITOCHU and GS Caltex have constructed a brand new worth chain primarily based on their respective experience, with lively help from the Korean and Japanese governments.
“This was achieved primarily based on a shared dedication to assist the aviation trade with its efforts to decarbonize. By this enterprise improvement, the shoppers will have the ability to obtain a steady provide of CORSIA-eligible SAF forward of the beginning of CORSIA’s obligatory section in 2027, contributing to airways taking an additional step in the direction of lowering their carbon emissions. Transferring ahead, GS Caltex will additional develop its cooperation with companions, Neste and Itochu, to contribute to the decarbonization of the aviation trade in Korea, Japan and globally,”
CORSIA-eligible SAF
CORSIA is a acknowledged scheme providing a harmonized approach to cut back CO2 emissions from worldwide aviation to curb its impression on local weather change. It was developed by the Worldwide Civil Aviation Group (ICAO), and the implementation of CORSIA is at the moment within the first, voluntary section. As soon as licensed by an ICAO-approved sustainability certification scheme, SAF qualifies as a CORSIA Eligible Gasoline (CEF) and can be utilized by an airline to fulfill the CO2 emission discount allocation necessities below CORSIA. In 2022, Neste equipped the first-ever batch of CORSIA-certified SAF as a part of a pilot of certifying SAF as a CORSIA Eligible Gasoline. Utilizing unblended Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Gasoline™ can cut back greenhouse fuel emissions (GHG) by as much as 80%* over the gasoline’s life cycle, in comparison with utilizing standard jet gasoline.
