EVA Air signs SAF agreements with three major suppliers

In Taiwan, EVA Air announced the signing of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) procurement agreements with three major suppliers: Associated Energy Group, LLC (AEG FUELS) from the United States, COSMO Oil Marketing Co., Ltd. (COSMO) from Japan, and Formosa Petrochemical Corporation from Taiwan. This strategic move reaffirms EVA Air’s unwavering commitment to sustainability by expanding its SAF footprint and establishing long-term partnerships with global and local suppliers.

EVA Air is in compliance with the European Union’s (EU) SAF supply policy, and all flights departing from Europe have been operating with a 2% SAF blend since the first quarter of this year. The new agreements mark the next phase of EVA Air’s sustainability journey, as it will independently and regularly begin SAF integration at key hubs in North America, Japan, and Taiwan starting in the second quarter of 2025. These actions aim to substantially lower flight emissions and lay the foundation for broader SAF adoption in the future.

As a significant milestone in advancing SAF adoption, EVA Air successfully introduced domestically produced SAF on April 23, 2025, as part of the Civil Aviation Administration’s pilot program for SAF usage. The fuel was blended into two international flights: BR156 from Taipei Songshan Airport to Seoul Gimpo International Airport, and BR148 from Kaohsiung International Airport to Kansai International Airport in Japan. This marks the official launch of SAF application at Taiwan’s local airports. The initiative demonstrates EVA Air’s strong commitment to sustainability and highlights the maturity and resilience of Taiwan’s local SAF supply chain.
