August 21, 2025 – Toyo Engineering Corporation (President and CEO: Eiji Hosoi, TOYO) has been selected by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) for its initiative, “Development of Production Technologies for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), etc.”. TOYO’s proposal, “Feasibility Study on SAF via Gasification FT Synthesis Using Expanded Feedstocks and eSAF Production”, was adopted under the category “Development of SAF Production Technologies Utilizing Diverse Feedstocks”.
With global air traffic projected to rise and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, demand for SAF is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years. This project will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of producing SAF from a wide range of feedstocks—including municipal solid waste—via two distinct pathways: 1) gasification Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis and 2) methanol synthesis and conversion to SAF.
TOYO’s feasibility study will include Velocys’s advanced FT synthesis technology and its own proprietary methanol production technology, developed through decades of engineering innovation.
The study will run for approximately 18 months, from FY2025 through FY2026, and will consider both domestic and international site conditions.
Project Objectives
TOYO has previously conducted pilot-scale continuous SAF production via gasification plus FT synthesis and contributed to studies for building an integrated SAF supply chain under NEDO’s sponsorship.
Going forward, TOYO will leverage its technological expertise and global partnerships to help establish the technological foundation needed for the widespread adoption of sustainable aviation fuel.
