Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO Mitsuko Tottori; hereafter, “JAL”) has installed a collection box for waste cooking oil generated at home at “Food Hall Aoba” operated by Big Rise Co., Ltd. (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director Nakajima Tetsuo; hereafter, “Big Rise”), and will begin collection.
JAL aims to achieve virtually zero CO2 emissions (net zero emissions) by 2050, and is promoting various initiatives. As part of this, in order to promote decarbonization of aircraft, we are implementing a project “Let's Fly Through the Air” related to SAF (*) (sustainable aviation fuel) manufacturing using waste cooking oil from households as a raw material. Meanwhile, Big Rise owns solar power plant equipment and is promoting environmental initiatives, such as contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions by generating electricity using natural energy.
Going forward, JAL and Big Rise will continue to contribute to reducing environmental impact in order to realize a sustainable future.

(*) SAF is an acronym for Sustainable Aviation Fuel and is translated as “sustainable aviation fuel.” It is an aviation fuel that can be expected to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional aviation fuel in the life cycle from production and collection of raw materials to manufacturing and combustion, and existing infrastructure can be utilized as is.
