Toyota Tsusho supplies B100 for use in ground equipment at New Chitose Airport

In Japan, Toyota Tsusho Corporation has started supplying 100% concentration biodiesel fuel for a trial on the use of biofuel for ground support equipment within the New Chitose Airport, operated by Japan Airlines Co., Ltd.

The purpose of the trial is to verify the effects of using 100% concentration biofuel on the engines of three units of ground support equipment (towing tractors and forklifts) deployed in the New Chitose Airport during a period of approximately three and a half months from August 1, 2023 to November 14, 2023, and to obtain knowledge for stable operation. Use of 100% concentration biofuel is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 2.62 kg per liter compared to the current level.
