S-Oil Corp., the South Korean unit of Saudi Arabian Oil Co., announced on Thursday that it has achieved the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) certification for its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

SAF is an alternative fuel made from environmentally friendly sources, capable of being blended with conventional aviation fuel. It can reduce over 80% of carbon emissions compared to conventional fossil fuel-based aviation fuel.

S-Oil plans to export SAF to Europe and the US. Europe has mandated that 2% of all jet fuel must be made from SAF-certified by international organizations from 2025.

The company plans to build the most efficient SAF production system by adjusting the blending ratio of bio-based materials.
