According to The Asahi Shimbun, a consortium of a Japanese university and businesses will team up with a state government in Australia for a project to mass produce sustainable biofuel for airplanes.
The Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, which has expertise in cultivating pongamia oil trees, plans to start a demonstration experiment in Australia’s northeast state of Queensland by March. The Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology established the Open Platform in April to develop natural resources for sustainable aviation fuel. It aims to obtain certification for carbon dioxide reduction from an international organization. Around seven companies have joined the platform, including Eneos Corp., a major oil distributor, Sumitomo Corp., a leading trading house, and Revo International Inc., a company that collects and recycles used cooking oil. The demonstration experiment on pongamia trees will be held on 10,000 to 100,000 hectares in Queensland. Multiple companies are considering building facilities at the experiment site, including one estimated to cost tens of billions of yen, according to the sources. The university also aims to develop resources other than pongamia oil for sustainable aviation fuel. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15439834
