The South Korean government announced a historic measure for the decarbonization of air transport: starting in 2027, all international flights departing from the country must use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), starting with a 1% blend and gradually increasing to 10% by 2035.

The decision marks a decisive step toward a greener future in aviation. SAF can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional fuel, fostering a circular economy that leverages raw materials such as used cooking oil (UCO) for its production.

The measure also reinforces the growth of the global SAF market, supported by governments, airlines, and energy companies seeking to accelerate the transition to sustainable aviation.

Companies like FatHopes Energy are already actively involved in this shift, collecting and transforming used oil into biofuels that contribute to emissions reduction and sustainable economic development.

This announcement not only represents a new regulation, but also a strategic opportunity to strengthen energy independence, create value from waste, and promote industrial innovation toward the sustainable skies of the future.
