Researchers at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) have successfully demonstrated the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from landfill gas derived from organic waste. A pilot facility, covering 100 square meters, can produce approximately 100 kilograms of SAF daily, confirming the technology's viability.

KRICT partnered with Intocore Technology to create an end-to-end process that captures landfill gas and converts it into aviation fuel, providing a valuable energy resource. This development offers the aviation sector a practical solution to reduce carbon emissions, as SAF from waste materials can significantly lower emissions compared to traditional jet fuel.
