Honeywell and NTPC Green Partner to Drive Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production in India
Key Ideas
  • Honeywell and NTPC Green have joined forces to explore Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production in India using advanced eFining technology and green hydrogen.
  • The partnership aims to utilize CO2 captured from NTPC's power plants as a feedstock, aligning with India's ambitious targets for SAF blending and the country's commitment to net-zero emissions.
  • The collaboration will play a crucial role in the Pudimadaka Green Hydrogen Hub, a mega-project under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, with a substantial investment to produce green hydrogen derivatives like SAF and green methanol.
  • The SAF production initiative is expected to contribute significantly to the aviation sector's environmental goals by offering a low-carbon intensity fuel that can be seamlessly blended with traditional jet fuel.
Honeywell, a global technology and manufacturing leader, has partnered with NTPC Green, the renewable energy arm of India's NTPC Ltd, to explore the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in India. This collaboration will leverage Honeywell's advanced eFining technology to revolutionize SAF production by utilizing CO2 captured from NTPC's power plants as a feedstock along with green hydrogen. The initiative, based in the Pudimadaka Green Hydrogen Hub in Andhra Pradesh, is a key part of NTPC Green's ambitious plans for sustainable energy. The partnership aligns with India's goal to increase SAF blending targets in aviation fuel, ultimately contributing to the country's net-zero emissions target by 2070. Honeywell's cutting-edge eFining technology will play a central role in converting eMethanol into high-quality SAF, offering a drop-in replacement fuel that requires no modifications to existing aircraft engines or infrastructure. This strategic collaboration aims to drive environmental sustainability in the aviation sector and is set to make a significant impact on India's green energy landscape.
