Energy one step ahead
For the first time in Japan, INPEX and Idemitsu Kosan provide jet fuel with carbon neutrality in the supply chain to ANA - Conducting a flight with virtually zero CO2 emissions on the occasion of the G7 Hiroshima Summit -

INPEX Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Takayuki Ueda, hereinafter referred to as “INPEX”), Idemitsu Kosan Co.,Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and Representative Director: Shunichi Kito, hereinafter referred to as “Idemitsu Kosan”), and All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Shinichi Inoue, hereinafter "ANA") will work to decarbonize the entire jet fuel supply chain on the occasion of the G7 Hiroshima Summit.
In this initiative, INPEX and Idemitsu Kosan will procure carbon credits *2 to neutralize the total amount of CO₂ *1 generated throughout the jet fuel supply chain, from crude oil production to consumption during flight operations. It will be supplied to ANA as neutralized jet fuel. This is Japan's first initiative to supply jet fuel to airlines with virtually zero CO₂ emissions throughout the supply chain.
In conjunction with the G7 Hiroshima Summit (summit of major countries) scheduled to be held from May 19th to 21st of this year, all flights to and from Hiroshima Airport operated by ANA during May 2023 (1st to 31st) ( (planned) to realize flights with virtually zero CO₂ emissions.

ANA achieves carbon neutral flight
In order to achieve this carbon-neutral flight, we will reduce CO₂ emissions throughout the jet fuel supply chain based on the "Carbon Offset and Reduction Scheme for International Civil Aviation" (CORSIA Scheme) established by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) *3. In response to this, we have achieved neutrality by procuring carbon credits equivalent to the same amount of emissions that have been certified under the CORSIA scheme. Furthermore, we have obtained third-party certification from Socotech Certification Japan Co., Ltd. regarding the procedure and validity of this carbon neutralization process, further increasing the reliability of this carbon neutral jet fuel supply.

The three companies will continue to consider efforts to realize carbon neutrality society even after the G7 Hiroshima Summit.
Based on the "Long-term Strategy and Medium-term Management Plan (INPEX Vision@2022)" formulated in February 2022, INPEX aims to create a more prosperous society by realizing energy development, production, and supply in a sustainable manner. We aim to become a leading energy company that is irreplaceable to society by contributing to the world's energy demand and continuing to meet the energy demand of Japan and the world.We also aim to become a leading energy company that is irreplaceable to society, and to develop an energy structure aimed at realizing a net-zero carbon society in 2050. We will actively work on reform.
出光興産は、2022年11月に発表した「中期経営計画（2023～2025年度） 」において、2050年カーボンニュートラル・循環型社会の実現を目指し、2030年までにカーボンニュートラルソリューションの社会実装に取り組むことを表明しました。今後はカーボンクレジットのみならず、持続可能なジェット燃料（SAF：Sustainable Aviation Fuel）やバイオ混合燃料・水素・アンモニアなどのカーボンニュートラルに資するエネルギーのサプライチェーン構築を進めてまいります。
ANAグループは、2050年度までに航空機の運航におけるCO₂排出量実質ゼロの実現を中長期の環境目標 にて掲げています。運航上の改善・航空機等の技術革新や持続可能な航空燃料SAFの活用等さまざまなアプローチを推進していますが、パリ協定における気温上昇を1.5℃に抑える目標は喫緊の課題として位置づけ、即時的に取り入れられるアプローチ等にも取り組んでいます。今後もステークホルダーの皆さまと連携しながら航空業界の脱炭素化と持続可能性を追求し、カーボンニュートラル社会の実現に貢献してまいります。
