Taiwanese state-owned oil and gas company CPC Corp has started supplying sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to three domestic carriers, SAF Investor wrote, citing a Reuters report quoting the country’s aviation regulator Civil Aviation Administration (CAA).
At the time of the report, CPC had imported 400 tonnes of SAF while domestic energy firm Formosa Petrochemical had produced 5,500 tonnes of renewable fuel (including SAF) in 2025.
Formosa is planning to produce an additional 6,000 tonnes of SAF this year using the co-processing pathway from used cooking oil (UCO), according to the report.
Domestically produced and imported, the SAF was blended with conventional jet fuel and supplied to China Airlines EVA Air, and Starlux at the Kaohsiung, Songshan and Taoyuan airports, CAA said.
The airlines were increasing SAF usage in line with CAA’s 5% SAF target from 2030 onwards, the report said.
According to its website, CPC’s business areas include oil & gas exploration and production, refining, petrochemicals, lubricants, solvents and chemicals. It is also Taiwan’s only importer and supplier of natural gas.
