東洋エンジと日揮、航空燃料SAFの設計・EPCで提携

【カテゴリー】：経営 【関連企業・団体】：東洋エンジニアリング

東洋エンジニアリング（TOYO）は31日、日揮と、国内のSAF（Sustainable Aviation Fuel：持続可能な航空燃料）製造プラントのFEED（基本設計）およびEPC（設計・調達・建設）プロジェクト受注・遂行でアライアンス契約を締結したと発表した。 　世界的に温室効果ガス（GHG）排出量削減への対応が求められるなか、日本では政府が掲げる「2050年カーボンニュートラルに伴うグリーン成長戦略」に基づき、2030年時点において「本邦エアラインによる燃料使用量の10％をSAFに置き換える」という目標が設定されている。国内SAF需要は、2025年の約30万キロリットルから2030年には約171万キロリットルに大きく拡大する見込みだ。 　TOYOグループは、SAF製造と関連して、エタノールや木質バイオマスなどを原料とした合成ガス由来のSAF製造に関する知見と技術を有し、一方、日揮グループは事業者としての製造・供給計画に関する様々な知見を有しています。加えて、両社は国内、海外における大規模な石油精製、石油化学・化学プラントの豊富な実績も有している。 　両社が保有するこれら優位性を統合し、SAF製造プラント建設計画のFEED（基本設計）からEPC（設計・調達・建設）まで協業することによって、より高い提案力や競争力、総合的なプラント建設力が発揮できることから、今回のアライアンス締結となった。 （参考） ■English Follows TOYO and JGC Sign Alliance Agreement on Domestic SAF Plants Toyo Engineering Corporation(TOYO) has announced that TOYO and JGC Holdings Corporation’s domestic EPC operating company JGC Japan Corporation have signed an alliance agreement on March 30, 2023, to pursue and execute orders for front-end engineering design (FEED) and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for domestic sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plants. In response to global calls for GHG reduction, in October 2022 the International Civil Aviation Organization adopted a long-term goal of net-zero CO2 emissions from the international aviation sector by 2050. Meanwhile, in relatively recent updates adopted in ICAO's CORSIA*1 program, CO2 emission reduction in this sector by 2035 is being sought by mandating the use of SAF and purchases of emission credits for the portion of emissions exceeding a baseline level (85% of 2019 emissions) as a short- to medium-term goal. In Japan, a target based on the government's Green Growth Strategy supporting carbon neutrality by 2050 seeks to replace 10% of jet fuel used by domestic airlines with SAF by 2030. Domestic SAF demand is expected to grow significantly from approximately 300,000 kiloliters in 2025 to 1.71 million kiloliters*2 in 2030. Currently, several companies???domestic oil refining companies and others???have tapped the government's Green Innovation Fund and taken other steps to make steady progress in preparing to build domestic SAF plants using a variety of feedstocks including bioethanol. Many such plant construction plans are likely to come to fruition from 2024 to 2027, in consideration of the Green Innovation Fund period, with large-scale investment on an overall scale of several hundred billion yen expected. In SAF production, the TOYO Group possesses knowledge and technology for production of SAF derived from synthesis gas using raw materials such as ethanol and wood biomass, while the JGC Group has wide-ranging expertise in production and supply planning as an operator. Both companies also have extensive construction experience for large oil refineries and chemical/petrochemical plants in Japan and overseas. The alliance was founded on the expectation of even more compelling proposals, greater competitiveness, and superior overall plant construction that combines each company's strengths and enables collaboration on SAF plant construction plan from FEED to EPC services.
