JAL and ANA release second joint report on SAF
In Japan, Japan Airlines (JAL) and All Nippon Airways (ANA) released the second edition of their joint report, “Toward Net Zero CO2 Emissions from Air Transport in 2050,” outlining the current state of sustainable aviation fuel in Japan and the actions needed to support aviation decarbonization.
The report calls for a society-wide effort to achieve net-zero carbon dioxide emissions in air transportation by 2050.
The report calls for a tailored Japanese model that balances the pace of SAF regulation with actual domestic SAF production capacity, helping to mitigate supply-demand imbalances and excessive costs while supporting long-term industry growth.
Through corporate programs that contribute to reducing customers’ Scope 3 emissions, ANA and JAL are promoting a “Co-creation Model” in which the high costs of SAF implementation are supported collectively by society as a whole.
“Thanks to our stakeholders, we have established a foothold for domestic SAF implementation. However, the global landscape surrounding SAF is extremely severe, and any delay in securing fuel now represents a direct crisis for Japan’s economic security,” said Juichi Hirasawa, President and CEO of ANA. “To confront this challenge, we are once again joining hands with JAL. We strongly call for an effective, society-wide framework to maintain Japan’s aviation infrastructure and hand over sustainable skies to the next generation. We remain steadfast in our commitment to this resolve, while seeking the understanding of our valued customers.”
