In Taiwan, Taipei Times reported that Taiwan’s Ministry of Transportation and Communications said that approximately 6,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel would be available for domestic and international airlines to use at airports across Taiwan this year, which would help curb about 15,000 tons of carbon emissions.
The use of SAF is part of government efforts to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
The nation’s three largest airlines — China Airlines, EVA Airways and Starlux Airlines began using SAF in their aircraft, the first time domestic airlines used eco-friendly fuel in Taiwan.
CPC Corp, Taiwan imported 400 tons of the SAF available for use this year, while Formosa Petrochemical produced 5,500 tons, the ministry said.
China Airlines and Starlux use the CPC-imported SAF, while EVA Airways uses the fuel produced by Formosa Petrochemical, according to the report.
