In India, the New Indian Express reported that India has the potential to produce around 40 million tons of SAF by 2050, according to the head of Net Zero Research & Programs at IATA, Preeti Jain. “This is a real economic opportunity for rural Indian transformation and to fuel sustainable aviation growth and it must not be missed,” she said.

Continued policy momentum is crucial to channelising the country’s biomass and waste resources and adopting new technologies through incentives and research-focused grants, she added.
