In South Korea, ChosunBiz reported that the Korean government has decided to delay the announcement of the roadmap for the mixed use of sustainable aviation fuel that was scheduled to be released this month. SAF must be used mandatorily starting in 2027, and the related industry is expressing concerns about the short preparation period, according to the report. The government plans to announce the ‘long-term roadmap for the implementation of the SAF usage mandate’ as early as the third quarter. It was initially scheduled for release in the first half of this year, but has been delayed due to the early presidential election and changes in the Minister, according to the report. The government is establishing a task force (TF) for a mixed-use mandate of SAF jointly with the private sector to develop measures for the activation of SAF. More than 20 institutions, including domestic refineries and airlines, the Petroleum Management Organization, the Korea Transportation Safety Authority, and the Korea Energy Economics Institute (KEEI), are participating. The roadmap is expected to include incentive measures for SAF facilities and corporations, the report added.
