GS Caltex announced on September 9 that on the previous day, at GS Tower in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Vice President Kim Changsoo of the Mobility & Marketing Division at GS Caltex and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) John Pearson of DHL Express, along with other key officials from both companies, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on "Establishing a Partnership for Carbon Reduction Based on Sustainable Aviation Fuel."

Under this agreement, GS Caltex will supply SAF to DHL Express aircraft refueling in Korea for one year. The supply volume will be 2,000 tons of neat SAF (100% SAF).

The SAF supplied by GS Caltex is produced using a co-processing method, which involves connecting a separate bio-based feedstock supply line to the existing petroleum product manufacturing process to create low-carbon products. It has also obtained International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) EU certification, in accordance with the European Union (EU) Renewable Energy Directive.

GS Caltex plans to establish a dedicated co-processing production line for the stable and expanded supply of SAF to meet market demand by the end of this year.

GS Caltex has been supplying internationally certified SAF produced by the co-processing method to Asiana Airlines, Jin Air, and Eastar Jet since December 2024. Additionally, it has supplied Korean Air since September last year and Aero K Airlines since December last year.
