Indian Oil Corporation plans to build SAF plant in Haryana

In India, Swarajya reported that state-run oil firm Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is planning to build a $122 million sustainable aviation fuel plant at Panipat in Haryana to meet the growing demand for the green fuel. “This is going to be a booming business. The reason for us to conceive such a big plant is that unless the capacity is higher, you won’t get the economies of scale,” said SSV Ramakumar, director for research and development at IOC. Apart from IOC, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals is also planning to build a bio-ATF pilot plant at Mangalore using CSIR-Indian Institute of Petroleum’s technology using non edible oils and used cooking oil as feedstock, the report stated.
