China to use more sustainable aviation fuel in next few years
Biofuel firms are pouring more than $1-billion into building China’s first plants to turn waste cooking oil into aviation fuel for export and meet domestic demand once Beijing mandates the fuel’s use on airplanes to cut emissions.
Last year, China exported a record 2.05 million tons of UCO, mostly to the United States and Singapore, and providing feedstock to biofuel refiners such as Finnish firm Neste . The plants process UCO collected from millions of restaurants using a technology called hydrotreated esters and fatty acids , one of a few commercial pathways.
In the near term, China may unveil pilot airports in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Zhengzhou for initial SAF adoption. Globally, airlines consumed between 450,000 and 500,000 tons of SAF last year, double the 2022 figure but still making up just 0.1 per cent of jet fuel, the International Air Transport Association says.
