Narita International Airport Welcomes Its First CEF Import by Itochu Corporation from South Korea

Narita International Airport has, for the first time in Japan, accepted Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation Eligible Fuel (CORSIA Eligible Fuel/CEF) imported from South Korea by Itochu Corporation.

The acceptance was made possible through a collaboration with Neste, a producer of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and GS Caltex, for mixing with jet fuel.

This fuel was directly transported by an international vessel to a fueling facility in Chiba Port from an overseas refinery, marking the second instance of direct import from overseas following an occasion of accepting jet fuel to address the shortage of aviation fuel.

Itochu Corporation plans to supply this fuel to various airlines, including All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan Airlines (JAL), and it aims to continue supplying according to demand, as well as considering distributing to other airports.
