Establishment of "ACT FOR SKY" a voluntary organization

working for the Commercialization, Promotion and

Expansion of Domestically Produced SAF

～Aims to raise awareness of SAF and contribute to the decarbonization of the aviation sector～

JGC HOLDINGS CORPORATION (Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Representative Director,

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer: SATO Masayuki), REVO International Inc. (Headquarters:

Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, President : KOSHIKAWA Tetsuya), All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. (Headquarters:

Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: HIRAKO Yuji, Representative Director and Chief Executive Officer) and

Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, President: AKASAKA Yuji, Representative Director) today*1 jointly established "ACT FOR SKY", a voluntary organization that works to commercialize, promote and expand the use of domestically produced sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).*2

"ACT FOR SKY" with "ACT" representing the cooperation and collaboration by companies committed to take "action" for these goals-will aim to raise awareness among citizens and companies of the importance of SAF, carbon neutrality and achieving a circular economy. Applying expertise across relevant industries, the four founding companies will coordinate the activity of other member companies as well.

Background

• A rapidly growing global need to reduce CO2 emissions has called for the aviation industry to accelerate the development, production, distribution, and use of SAF. This fuel is sourced from sustainable resources such as tallow (animal oils and fats), used cooking oil (UCO), biomass, municipal solid waste, exhaust gases, and CO2.
• As global SAF demand grows, a stable supply of domestically produced SAF is considered essential in Japan. However, domestically produced SAF has not been commercialized yet, and establishing stable supply chain, from procurement of feedstock to supply of SAF, remains an urgent issue.
• Compared to Europe and the U.S, where SAF is already being commercialized, and its awareness is relatively strong, it is necessary to raise the awareness of SAF in Japan as well.

Overview of activities

• Promotion of the members' activities toward decarbonization and a circular economy through the domestic production of SAF
• Discussions and analysis on the costs to achieve these goals
• Raise awareness on carbon neutrality, through local governments and education
• Exchanging information among members, for next actions
• Share information on how other countries are acting for SAF promotion
• Identify common issues for domestic SAF production, and share the information and analysis gathered with related organizations
