Japan’s Eneos to study sustainable aviation fuel production with Australia
JAPANESE oil and metals company Eneos Holdings on Thursday (Mar 23) said it has agreed to study the production of up to 500 million litres of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel per year with Australia’s Ampol.
Initially, the two would explore the usage of agricultural, animal and other waste feedstocks in the northeastern Australian state of Queensland to produce biofuels for consumption at home and for exports, Eneos added in a statement.
Eneos, also Japan’s biggest oil refiner, is looking to expand in supplies of SAF to meet demand from the global aviation industry to reduce carbon footprint.
Japan’s top airlines All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines have recently expanded their SAF purchases and committed to using SAF to meet 10 per cent of their fuel needs by 2030 in line with a government target. REUTERS
