Praj’s ATF SAF demo facility opens at R&D facility in Pune

In India, Hon. Union Minister Shri. Hardeep Singh Puri inaugurated Praj’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) demonstration facility at its R&D Center in Pune on Saturday. Praj has developed a proprietary technology to process agricultural feedstocks for the production of SAF that can be blended with Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF).

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Pramod Chaudhari, Executive Chairman, Praj Industries said, “Inauguration of SAF demonstration facility is yet another milestone in Praj’s pursuit of energy transition through Bioeconomy. Recently, we collaborated with IOCL and AirAsia India to successfully fly India’s first commercial passenger flight with 1% SAF produced at our bench scale setup that was blended with ATF. We truly believe in India’s potential to be a hub for supplying SAF for the Global Aviation Industry and we stand committed to helping build SAF production capacities. We thank Hon. Minister Shri. Hardeep Singh Puri ji for his continued guidance and encouragement.”
