EVA Air has signed a memorandum of understanding with AIT Worldwide Logistics to expand its Green Transportation Program over the next two years, using sustainable aviation fuel on flights from Taiwan. In the first year, the arrangement is set to provide about 15,000 metric tons of CO₂e environmental attributes to Microsoft, helping the company cut Scope 3 emissions linked to cloud-infrastructure equipment moving by air.
The flights will use SAF supplied by Formosa Petrochemical Corporation, made from used cooking oil and certified under international sustainability standards. EVA Air describes the fuel as delivering about 80% lower lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions than conventional jet fuel. The related environmental attributes will be issued and retired through the ISCC Credit Transfer System, allowing Microsoft to account for the emissions reductions in its air freight chain.
EVA Air has been expanding SAF use on flights departing from Asia, Europe and North America since 2025 and has a five-year SAF procurement agreement with FPCC. A Taiwanese report on the same day also confirmed the deal and said the island’s Civil Aviation Administration has so far recorded 6,500 metric tons of local SAF production under a pilot programme.
