This project focuses on "waste cooking oil," a common resource for citizens among the raw materials used in SAF (Sustainable Air Fuel), and aims to contribute to resource recycling and decarbonization of aviation through collection efforts. It uses attention-grabbing slogans such as "Plane flying in the sky with used cooking oil!?" to attract people.
The project's secretariat is managed by JGC Holdings, and it was launched in April 2023. Currently, 252 companies, local governments, and organizations are participating. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is also joining this initiative with the aim of increasing awareness of SAF and promoting decarbonization efforts.
Specifically, this involves participating in SAF promotions at events and other venues. Most recently, on September 27th, they will exhibit and promote the project at the Aviation Day Festival at Haneda Airport. In addition, they will collaborate with the project through public relations on social media and at symposiums.
