S-OIL will be able to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for international aviation for the first time in Korea, after the refiner acquired three green certifications, reports Korea Times.
The certifications include the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), the ISCC EU and the ISCC PLUS.
The achievement allows the refiner to expand its eco-friendly fuel product supplies in line with the global trend towards carbon neutrality.
'As S-Oil acquired the international certification to produce SAF that meets CORSIA requirements for the first time in Korea, it can contribute substantially to protecting land through the use of bio-based raw materials and conserving biodiversity, not to mention cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the aviation area,' said S-Oil.
The latest achievement will set the stage for S-Oil to produce SAF which can slash greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 90 per cent, compared with conventional jet fuels, he said.
S-Oil also spoke highly of the acquisition of the other two certifications, which the refiner said will serve as an opportunity to help vitalise the biofuel industry.
