In India, BioEnergy Times reported that the Japanese government is working on a plan to subsidize sustainable aviation fuel for domestic airlines, as part of broader efforts to cut carbon emissions from air travel and promote cleaner flights.
Under the proposed plan, fuel suppliers may be required to offer aviation fuel blended with sustainable alternatives at airports across Japan. The policy is being developed through official government councils and is expected to be completed by the 2026 financial year. It will be supported by changes to the Airport Law and other related rules, according to the report.
According to government sources, the developing framework could include financial support to help airlines manage the higher cost of sustainable fuel. It may also require fuel suppliers to mix sustainable fuel into the aviation fuel sold at Japanese airports. In addition, the government is looking to expand the collection of raw materials, such as used cooking oil, by working with local governments and industry partners.
