In India, Business Line reported that the first batch of sustainable aviation fuel produced by Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) could be available before next March with the company implementing a co-processing method for its production. While IOC has tied up with LanzaJet to produce SAF using alcohol-to-jet technology, the company is also working on more cost effective co-processing method to fast track the availability of SAF before introduction of government mandate. The report noted that the Indian government has set an indicative blending target of one per cent of SAF in conventional jet fuel for international flights from 2027. IOC will rely on used cooking oil as a feedstock for producing SAF with co-processing method, the report added.
