Aemetis signs 90M gallons SAF offtake agreement with Japan Airlines

In California, Aemetis, Inc. has signed an offtake agreement with Japan Airlines for 90 million gallons of blended sustainable aviation fuel to be delivered over the 7-year term of the agreement.

The blended sustainable aviation fuel to be supplied under this agreement is 40% SAF and 60% Petroleum Jet A to meet international blending standards.

This supply agreement with Aemetis builds on JAL’s expanding effort for a future of net zero emission by 2050, plans to replace 1 percent of its conventional jet fuel consumption with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by 2025, and 10 percent by 2030. The agreement also underlines the oneworld Alliance’s commitment to collectively source SAF, of which JAL is a member. Japan Airlines is one of Japan’s largest international airlines as of 2021. JAL operates more than 200 aircraft delivering more than 40 million passengers and approximately 500,000 tons of cargo globally.
