Global Biofuel Alliance can turn India into export hub for SAF: Puri

The recently launched Global Biofuel Alliance (GBA) can turn India into a major production and export hub for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and give the country a chance to set international standards in the sector, Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri told Business Standard.

“India has the feedstock for producing 19-24 million tonnes of SAF a year. The estimated maximum requirement of SAF in the country, even considering a 50 per cent blend, is 8-10 million tonnes per year by 2030,” he said.
