Chiyoda Corp. (Chiyoda) has announced that it has been awarded the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for installing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facilities in Taiyo Oil Co. Ltd (Taiyo Oil) Okinawa Operations, Japan.

Taiyo Oil is aiming to supply 200 million l of SAF and renewable diesel (RD) annually using ethanol to jet technology on the premises of Taiyo Oil's Okinawa Operations, contributing to the Japanese government's FY2030 SAF supply target, equivalent to “at least 5% of GHG emissions of jet fuel produced and supplied in Japan in FY2019.”

Taiyo Oil’s SAF production project has been selected as a subsidised project under the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry's 'Subsidy for Promotion of Transition to a Decarbonized, Growth-Oriented Economic Structure SAF Manufacturing and Supply Chain Development Support Project.’

Chiyoda will apply its technical capabilities experience in oil and gas plant engineering to conduct the FEED for implementing the facilities in Taiyo Oil Okinawa Operations and the decarbonisation of aviation fuel.
