Japan Airlines and partners to investigate feasibility of SAF production from waste
Japan Airlines, Marubeni, JXTG Nippon Oil and Energy and JGC Japan have agreed to carry out a feasibility study on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production and sales in Japan from industrial and municipal waste, including plastic waste.
The companies will evaluate the feasibility of the entire supply chain for the production of SAF from industrial and municipal waste, including middle and low-grade plastic waste, using Fulcrum Bioenergy’s process and technology to produce biojet fuel.
The four partners have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Taisei and Takeei, with each participating company to contribute its respective expertise to study waste collection and processing systems, the technological aspects of SAF production, end-product logistics, as well as the effect of carbon emissions using lifecycle assessment.
The feasibility study is expected to take place between February and December 2020. Following completion and based on the results of the study, the partners will aim to install demonstration equipment and carry out tests, with the start of commercial equipment construction slated for around 2025.
By promoting the development and uptake of SAF, the Japanese partners are hoping to contribute to the establishment of concrete solutions to concerns such as decreasing carbon dioxide emissions from aviation fuel and plastic waste treatment.
