Boeing, SpiceJet, Indian Institute of Petroleum partner to reduce carbon emissions

Boeing, SpiceJet, and CSIR-Indian Institute of Petroleum have together announced a partnership to explore opportunities for the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in the Indian aviation industry.

The initiative is to help reduce carbon emissions and contribute to the Indian government’s environmental goals. The companies said they will work together to leverage SAF supply from CSIR-IIP and its production partners and licensees to help SpiceJet de-carbonize it’s fleet.

“Our Institute is the first and currently the only organisation in India that is developing a fully indigenous SAF in the country, for the country,” said Dr Anjan Ray, Director, CSIR-Indian Institute of Petroleum, adding that the partnership with SpiceJet and Boeing would “contribute to making the Indian skies cleaner and greener.”
