Japan’s Cosmo to supply domestic Sustainable Aviation Fuel to 2 airlines from April

TOKYO (Reuters) – Cosmo Energy Holdings said on Monday it will start supplying sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to Japan Airlines (JAL) and All Nippon Airways (ANA) from April, marking the first supply of domestically produced green fuel.

Cosmo, Japan’s third-biggest oil refiner, plans to start trial SAF production at its Sakai refinery in Osaka as early as this week, a company spokesperson told Reuters. It is aiming for full-scale production of 30,000 kilolitres per year beginning in April, they added.

The refiner, in partnership with two other companies, plans to produce SAF from used cooking oil, marking the first large-scale production in Japan.

Cosmo declined to disclose details, including the pricing and volume of SAF it plans to supply to the Japanese airlines.
