Idemitsu Kosan and Morisora Biorefinery collaborate to establish a domestically produced SAF supply chain
In Japan, Idemitsu Kosan and Morisora Biorefinery have signed a memorandum of understanding with the aim of establishing a supply chain for 100% domestically produced SAF derived from bioethanol made from domestic wood resources.
By integrating domestically produced second-generation bioethanol derived from woody biomass with the ATJ technology currently undergoing verification and evaluation by Idemitsu Kosan, the two companies will jointly explore the feasibility of establishing a supply chain that covers the entire process – from feedstock development to SAF use – within Japan.
Morisora BR aims to produce E2G from domestic timber for use as a feedstock for SAF and other applications. The two companies will integrate the domestically produced E2G planned by Morisora BR with the ATJ-SAF production that Idemitsu Kosan is exploring for verification purposes, and will conduct a comprehensive study covering the entire process from feedstock development to SAF use.
