Japan boosts cooking oil collection for green jet fuel
Japan is accelerating efforts to collect used cooking oil from households and businesses to meet its goal of sourcing 10% of airline fuel from sustainable sources by 2030. While public-private initiatives like Fry to Fly are expanding, analysts warn that domestic supply may only meet a quarter of the required volume.

Japan is accelerating household cooking oil collection to meet a 1.7 million kiloliter sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) target by 2030. Current domestic SAF production sits at 30,000 kiloliters, representing 0.3% of the nation's total jet fuel consumption. Failure to secure local feedstock will force refiners into expensive imports, raising costs for airlines and passengers.
