In South Korea, Yonhap News Agency reported that the government of South Korea said it will begin requiring the use of sustainable aviation fuel on all international flights departing from domestic airports in 2027, part of efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the aviation sector.
The transport ministry said it will mandate a minimum blending ratio of 1% SAF in outbound flights in 2027 before gradually increasing the requirement to 3-5% in 2030 and 7-10% in 2035.
To help airlines manage related costs, the government will offer subsidies, tax benefits and other support. It will also set up a system to certify SAF quality and monitor prices so carriers can make the transition more smoothly, according to the report.
