EVA Air announced the signing of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) procurement agreements with three major suppliers: Associated Energy Group, LLC (AEG FUELS) of the United States, COSMO Oil Marketing Co., Ltd. (COSMO) of Japan, and Formosa Petrochemical Corporation of Taiwan. This strategy reaffirms EVA Air’s strong commitment to sustainability, expanding its SAF footprint and establishing long-term partnerships with global and local suppliers.

“Today, sustainable development is not just a choice, but a responsibility,” said Clay Sun, President of EVA Air. “Our bilateral collaborations with AEG FUELS, COSMO, and Formosa Petrochemical Corporation reflect our commitment to net-zero emissions. By actively introducing SAF into our global network, we are reducing our operational carbon footprint and driving transformation and growth across the aviation supply chain.”

As the world moves toward the common goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, SAF is considered one of the aviation industry’s most promising solutions for carbon reduction. EVA Air complies with the European Union (EU) SAF supply policy, and all flights departing Europe have been operating with a 2% SAF blend since the first quarter of this year. The new agreements mark the next phase of EVA Air’s sustainability journey, as it will independently and regularly begin integrating SAF at key hubs in North America, Japan, and Taiwan beginning in the second quarter of 2025. These actions aim to substantially reduce flight emissions and lay the groundwork for broader SAF adoption in the future.

EVA Air has partnered with three major suppliers. AEG FUELS is a globally recognized aviation fuel supplier with an extensive and reliable international logistics network. COSMO, one of Japan’s leading energy companies, will supply SAF to the Kansai region, where the Osaka-Kansai Japan Expo will be held until October 13, 2025. Formosa Petrochemical Corporation is the first company in Taiwan to supply its own-produced SAF, strengthening the resilience of the local supply chain. These collaborations are strengthening EVA Air’s fuel supply flexibility, expanding SAF adoption in the Asia-Pacific region, and accelerating the sustainable aviation fuel transition in the region.

As a significant milestone in advancing SAF adoption, EVA Air successfully introduced domestically produced SAF on April 23, 2025, as part of the Civil Aviation Administration’s pilot program for its use. The fuel was blended on two international flights: BR156 from Taipei Songshan Airport to Seoul Gimpo International Airport, and BR148 from Kaohsiung International Airport to Kansai International Airport in Japan. This marks the official launch of SAF application at local airports in Taiwan. The initiative demonstrates EVA Air’s strong commitment to sustainability and highlights the maturity and resilience of Taiwan’s local SAF supply chain.

EVA Air has made significant progress in sustainability in recent years. On the environmental front, the airline has implemented numerous energy-saving and carbon-reduction initiatives, such as modernizing its fleet, adopting next-generation, fuel-efficient aircraft such as the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350-1000, and optimizing flight routes to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

Looking ahead, EVA Air will continue to expand its use of SAF and actively participate in global sustainability initiatives. The airline also seeks to strengthen collaboration with its partners to, together, usher in a new era of sustainable aviation.
