Honeywell said that TruAlt Bioenergy Limited will use its Ethanol-to-Jet (ETJ) process technology to produce 80,000 tons per annum (TPA) of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in India. The agreement marks a major step towards establishing one of India’s first grassroots, dedicated SAF production facilities utilising ethanol as a feedstock. Honeywell UOP’s ETJ technology enables producers to convert ethanol derived from renewable sources into SAF, offering a cost-effective pathway to reduce the carbon emissions of air travel. The process is easily integrated into existing ethanol production infrastructure and can also produce renewable diesel, helping reduce carbon emissions in the road transport sector. Once operational, the project will help reduce CO₂ emissions from the rapidly growing aviation sector while also contributing to higher farmer incomes through increased demand for bioethanol, as per a report.
