Japan Airlines (JAL), Showa Sangyo, Boso Oil & Fat, PhytoChemical Products, and Tohoku University have launched a demonstration project using biodiesel fuel (BDF) derived from rice bran oil byproducts in towing tractors at Yamagata Airport. This BDF is produced using Tohoku University's 'ion-exchange resin method,' marking the world's first use of such fuel in airport vehicles. The project will run until May 2027 to evaluate driving performance and vehicle impact, aiming to promote decarbonization and establish a sustainable supply chain.
