Japan Intensifies Initiatives to Produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel from Cooking Oil

5 Haziran 2026France 24
  • Japan is intensifying its efforts to produce sustainable aviation fuel by encouraging citizens to recycle cooking oil. One homemaker, Maki Watanabe, is participating in the 'Fry to Fly' initiative, which involves collecting used cooking oil from around 300 supermarkets.
  • This project aims to address the challenges posed by rising energy costs due to geopolitical tensions, particularly the Iran war.
  • Japan, a resource-poor nation, is particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in energy supply and prices. The ongoing conflict in Iran has exacerbated these issues, prompting the government to explore alternative energy sources, including sustainable aviation fuel derived from recycled cooking oil.
  • The 'Fry to Fly' initiative reflects Japan's innovative approach to sustainability, engaging everyday citizens in the transition to greener energy sources. By repurposing cooking oil, the program not only promotes environmental responsibility but also seeks to mitigate the impact of external energy supply disruptions.
