Planning on utilizing LanzaJet’s proprietary ethanol to SAF technology, Cosmo Oil intends to leverage the company’s expertise in plant operations, fuel quality control, and logistics with Mitsui’s capabilities in ethanol procurement to develop the project, which will establish a large-scale SAF production facility and create new business opportunities within Japan’s growing biofuels sector.
Upon completion, the project will produce approximately 150,000 kiloliters of SAF and 17,000 kiloliters of renewable diesel annually at the Sakaide Logistics Base starting in 2029.
