How AI is Reshaping the Future of the Japan Palm Oil Market?
AI is being used to ease the traceability and sustainability of palm oil in Japan's supply chain: by linking blockchain with AI, information about the provenance of palm oil can be continuously recorded and shared on the way from farms to consumers. Machine learning and satellite imagery are used to assess the risk of deforestation and verify compliance with sustainable agricultural practices amongst suppliers, allowing Japanese companies to better understand their supply chains and the opportunity to meet consumer demand for ethical palm oil whilst maintaining a secure supply chain.
Research into AI optimization in biodiesel production has focused on improving processing efficiency and biodiesel quality. Neural network research, in particular, has focused on predicting optimum processing conditions based on the characteristics of the palm oil feedstock. AI predictive maintenance systems have been used to monitor the reliability of refinery equipment and prevent costly business interruption. They are also being applied in the renewable energy sector in Japan to support the cost-effective industrial scale-up of palm oil biodiesel as a means of achieving domestic carbon and energy diversification goals.
Cosmetics companies are applying machine learning to ease the formulation of new palm oil-based ingredients that have properties more suitable for skincare applications. Algorithms can analyze consumer preferences, and ingredient interactions to create new formulations. AI quality assurance (QA) systems stabilize the quality of the end-product, while artificial intelligence is used in determining the optimal ingredient ratio for maximum efficacy. The use of AI in palm oil's applications in the cosmetics industry is opening new markets as Japanese consumers increasingly favor natural cosmetics and making the industry more competitive.
Japan Palm Oil Market Trends & Drivers
In response to consumer environmental awareness and corporate social responsibility trends, Japan's palm oil industry is engaged in increasing demand for sustainable palm oil products. Oil companies and consumer goods manufacturers offer palm oil products that are certified under the Roundtable Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) standard. These products are for the food and cosmetics sectors. RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) associates with more than 6000 international, voluntary, multi-stakeholder members from all stages within the palm oil supply chain and other sectors. They commit together to produce and use sustainable palm oil. An significant number of consumers in Japan would be willing to pay a premium price for sustainable palm products.
Palm oil use in biodiesel production has been a major contributor to the growth of the market in Japan, partly eased by the entry of more renewable energy regulations. Palm oil biodiesel is playing a major role in the carbon reduction and petroleum reduction plans set by Japan. In 2023, METI announced to confirm that the FiP and FiT systems would also add new biomass fuels and sustainability certification. The Japanese government incentivizes palm oil biodiesel by exempting biodiesel sales from taxes and subsidizing renewable energy. It remains the main biofuel used in Japan because of the high energy yield at a low cost to meet the GHG emissions reduction target.
