Jia’ao Environmental is authorized to sell SAF

Jia’ao Environmental, which recently received an investment from British oil giant BP, has received approval from Chinese regulators to bring its sustainable aviation fuel to the Chinese market.

JIAO’s bio-kerosene has been approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), confirming that the fuel meets airworthiness certification requirements.

The aviation fuel will be produced at JIAO’s plant in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province. The plant, which went into operation in November last year, is designed to produce 750,000 tons of sustainable jet kerosene per year. The Lianyungang plant, which is operated by Gala New Energy’s subsidiary Lianyungang Gala New Energy, utilizes waste resources such as kitchen waste and cooking oil to produce aviation fuel.
