The government of the South Korean country has announced a plan to use SAF fuel<\/strong> on all international flights.\nFrom 2027, each of its airports will be required to use a blend of at least 1% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). <\/p>\n\n

The use of SAF fuel on international flights<\/h2>\n\n

This measure is part of the “PAS Expansion Strategy”, a plan developed by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy(MOTIE<\/em>) together with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation, which seeks to position the country as a leader in the production and export of PAS globally.<\/p>\n\n

South Korea’s strategy includes three key pillars: expanding domestic demand for PBS<\/strong>, ensuring stable supply capacity<\/strong> and creating a favorable legal and institutional framework<\/strong> for the adoption of PBS.\nAlong these lines, the South Korean government plans to offer tax incentives to domestic refiners, which are already investing in the production of PBS through co-processing.\nThese investments are estimated to reach $3 billion by 2030, with the aim of covering 30% of the global PBS export market. <\/p>\n\n

The country has begun to pave the way for the PBS mandate, with the introduction of an incentive system that includes preferential allocation of transport rights and reduced fees for the use of airport facilities for airlines adopting PBS.<\/strong>\nIn addition, a medium- and long-term roadmap is expected to be ready by 2025, which will guide the gradual expansion of domestic demand for PBS. <\/p>\n\n

South Korea’s four major refineries<\/strong> are already working on PBS production projects, with a dedicated plant expected to have a capacity of up to 250,000 tons per year by 2030.\nMoreover, the government is exploring the use of alternative feedstocks<\/strong>, such as microalgae,<\/strong> and developing supply chains to ensure the viability of the production of PBS<\/a><\/strong> large-scale production. <\/p>\n\n

South Korea also joins other countries such as Singapore<\/strong>, which have implemented similar mandates for the use of SAF fuel on international flights, in their effort to reduce carbon emissions<\/strong> and support the transition to more environmentally friendly aviation.<\/p>\n\n
