Japan’s largest SAF plant will soon be in operation, with 100% UCO as its raw material.

Cosmo Oil Co., JGC Holdings Corporation, Revo International and SAFFAIRE SKY ENERGY announced the completion of the SAF production facility, which will utilize used cooking oil as a feedstock for the production and supply of domestically produced SAF.

The four partners announced the December 25, 2024 completion date for the project.

The four companies aim to become the first company in Japan to produce domestically produced SAF on a large scale, supplying approximately 30,000 kiloliters of SAF per year domestically, using 100% used cooking oil as a feedstock.

JGC will be responsible for setting up the entire supply chain, Revo International for sourcing raw materials, Sapphire Sky Energy for producing SAF, and Cosmo Energy Group for producing blended SAF and selling it to customers.
