NTPC Green Energy has entered a partnership with Honeywell to delve into the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in India, with a focus on expanding its green fuels portfolio. The collaboration will utilize Honeywell's eFining technology to manufacture SAF using carbon dioxide captured from NTPC's thermal power plants and green hydrogen. SAF serves as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional jet fuel, significantly decreasing emissions from air travel. This initiative is anticipated to bolster various projects under NTPC Green and is in line with the company's ambitious Green Hydrogen Hub in Pudimadaka, Andhra Pradesh. NTPC believes that the mandated blending of SAF in the aviation industry will propel the early acceptance and advancement of green hydrogen projects. DMR Panda, the Executive Director of Green Hydrogen at NTPC, emphasized that this collaboration signifies India's shift towards sustainable aviation and clean energy. Ranjit Kulkarni, Vice President of Honeywell India, highlighted that the partnership amalgamates technological proficiency and sustainability strategies to decarbonize India's aviation sector and diversify SAF feedstock sources. This strategic move correlates with India's broader objectives in aviation and climate, positioning the nation as a prospective pioneer in green fuel innovation.
