All Nippon Airways (ANA) will use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blended in Japan for the first time under a public-private initiative led by the Civil Aviation Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).
ANA will procure the blended SAF from ITOCHU Corporation, and will use the fuel on ANA’s international and domestic flights from Haneda and Narita airport
The initiative is a part of the Public-Private Council for the Promotion of Sustainable Aviation Fuel, to encourage decarbonization of the aviation industry by accelerating the widespread usage of SAF. The SAF solution to be blended was procured from Neste.
ANA has pledged to replace at least 10% of its jet fuel with SAF by FY2030 as the airline moves toward the goal of carbon neutrality in 2050. Through the ANA Future Promise initiative and other efforts, ANA will continue to proactively work to incorporate initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions and pursue sustainability in the aviation industry to contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society.
