SK Energy exports SAF to Europe

In South Korea, SK Energy has successfully exported Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to Europe, marking a first for a Korean refiner. This milestone comes just four months after the company commenced commercial production, completing a global value chain for SAF.

SK Energy began commercial production of SAF in September last year, utilizing Co-Processing technology. This approach integrates bio-based material supply lines into existing petroleum production processes, enabling the production of low-carbon products like SAF and bio-naphtha. SK Energy has secured a competitive advantage in exports by establishing a production capacity of approximately 100,000 tons per year for SAF and other low-carbon products.
