By NEW DELHI: Minister of
Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep
Puri on Friday stated that the mixing of 1 percent sustainable air travel fuel in flights for across the country operations will be finished by mid-2025.
“Today, I got team and travelers who took the first industrial traveler flight from Pune to Delhi powered by indigenously produced sustainable air travel fuel (SAF). It’s the start of a brand-new chapter in sustainable air travel fuel (SAF). Today, we have actually begun with the 1 percent mixing of
SAF
in one flight, which will be required to 1 percent in all flights by mid-2025,” Puri stated throughout an interview.
“We will make this a 1 percent norm, then we will raise it to 5 percent,” he included.
He included all flights will run with fuel with 1 percent of SAF once this norm is available in impact.
“By 2025, if we target to mix 1 percent SAF mixing in Jet fuel, India would need around 14 crore litre of SAF per year. More ambitiously, if we target for 5 percent SAF mix, India needed around 70 crore litre of SAF per year”, the Minister notified.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a cleaner and more sustainable option to standard jet fuel, reducing carbon emissions by approximately 80 percent over the fuel’s life process, depending upon the feedstock.
Explaining the celebration as a considerable turning point in the nation’s efforts towards internet no emissions by 2070,
Hardeep Singh Puri
stated, “I am thankful to witness this historical event and get the first industrial flight sustained by SAF mixed ATF. This would be the first domestic industrial guest flight with SAF mixing approximately 1 percent as presentation mode.”
Praising the homegrown giants in their particular sectors, IndianOil, Air Asia, and
Praj Industries
