S-Oil to produce SAF after acquiring green certifications

In South Korea, Korea Times reported that S-Oil will be able to produce sustainable aviation fuel for international aviation for the first time in Korea, after the refiner acquired three green certifications on sustainable and low-carbon products. The certifications include the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), the ISCC EU and the ISCC PLUS, according to the report. “As S-Oil acquired the international certification to produce SAF that meets CORSIA requirements for the first time in Korea, it can contribute substantially to protecting land through the use of bio-based raw materials and conserving biodiversity, not to mention cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the aviation area,” Ryu Yul, president for corporate strategy and services at S-Oil, said. “The latest acquisition of the certification is the first step toward S-Oil’s pivot to a clean energy supplier to achieve sustainable growth, and we will further strive to distribute biofuels and circular products that can contribute to building a resource circulation structure in order to align ourselves with the global decarbonization trend,” he added.
