EVA Air announces sustainable aviation fuel supply deals

These are Associated Energy Group, LLC (AEG FUELS) from the US, COSMO Oil Marketing Co., Ltd. (COSMO) from Japan, and Formosa Petrochemical Corporation from Taiwan.

This strategic move will aid its sustainability commitments and establis long-term partnerships with both global and local suppliers.

“Sustainable development is not just a choice—it is a responsibility,”said EVA Air President Clay Sun.

“Our bilateral collaborations reflect our commitment to net-zero emissions. By actively introducing SAF across our global network, we are reducing our operational carbon footprint.”

EVA Air is in compliance with the European Union’s (EU) SAF supply policy, and all flights departing from Europe have been operating with a 2% SAF blend since the first quarter of this year.

The new agreements mark the next phase of EVA Air’s sustainability journey, which will commence in the second quarter of 2025.

They aim to substantially lower flight emissions and lay the foundation for broader SAF adoption in the future.

Formosa Petrochemical Corporation is the first company in Taiwan to supply SAF produced in-house.

As part of the Civil Aviation Administration’s pilot programme for SAF usage, fuel was blended on two international flights: to Seoul Gimpo International Airport, and to Kansai International Airport in Japan.

This marks the official launch of SAF application at Taiwan’s local airports.
