Indian Oil to partner with LanzaJet to produce sustainable aviation fuel
In India, Reuters reported that Indian Oil Corp will sign an agreement with LanzaJet to produce cleaner aviation fuel at its Panipat refinery in northern India. LanzaJet helps companies produce aviation fuel from ethanol manufactured from agricultural or industrial waste. By 2030, 2% of aviation fuel produced by Indian Oil will be sustainable aviation fuel, the company’s chairman S. M. Vaidya told Reuters on the sidelines of the India Energy Week in Bengaluru. According to the report, Indian Oil already has a deal with LanzaTech, LanzaJet’s parent company, to convert waste to ethanol. LanzaTech would aim to start producing ethanol-based aviation fuel at the Panipat refinery in 2-3 years, the firm’s CEO Jennifer Holmgren said.
