In India, Praj Industries has successfully demonstrated its Ethanol-to-Jet (EtJ) process utilizing Axens JetanolTM technology at its fully Integrated Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) demonstration plant at Praj Matrix, its R&D centre—marking a significant milestone in the global transition to low-carbon aviation fuels.
The Integrated SAF demo plant, earlier inaugurated by the Hon’ble Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Shri. Hardeep Singh Puri, has now proven its technological readiness for both AtJ pathways. After successful demonstration on bio‑isobutanol as the feedstock, the plant has now validated bio-ethanol as a feedstock under the EtJ pathway. With this achievement, Praj has further strengthened the versatility and robustness of its feedstock to SAF technology portfolio.
This development enables the conversion of ethanol into drop‑in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) (Compliant to ASTM D7566) that is fully compatible with existing aircraft engines and aviation infrastructure, marking a significant step toward accelerating the global transition to low‑carbon aviation.
