Paris and Tokyo, November 24, 2022 – Release here
TotalEnergies and ENEOS Corporation will pursue
their feasibility study for a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production unit at the ENEOS
Wakayama refinery in Arida, Japan.
The study was initially planned for the ENEOS Negishi refinery, but industrial, technical and
competitiveness criteria have led ENEOS and TotalEnergies to select the Wakayama refinery
instead.
The proposed unit, with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of SAF, would process
waste or residue sourced notably from the circular economy, mainly used cooking oil and
animal fat. The partners plan to form a joint venture to produce sustainable aviation fuels.
This collaboration will leverage the companies’ respective areas of excellence and expertise
to develop mass production of SAF and a sustainable supply chain for SAF in Japan by 2026.
TotalEnergies and Sustainable Aviation Fuel
TotalEnergies is developing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This includes biofuels made from
circular economy waste and residue, such as animal fat and used cooking oil, and renewable
synthetic (or e-jet) fuels. These sustainable aviation fuels will significantly reduce CO2
emissions from air transportation.
