India proposes 1% mandatory blending of green jet fuel from January

The Ministry of Civil Aviation has circulated a draft policy of sustainable aviation fuel usage which proposes an initial blending mandate of 1% for international flights. The proposal, a copy of which was seen by ET, has outlined a two-phase roadmap, with SAF blending targeted to rise to 5% by 2030 in the first phase, and then to 20% by 2040 in the second.

SAF is a liquid fuel that can be blended with aviation turbine fuel (ATF) without the need to develop new planes or engines. It can potentially reduce carbon emissions by up to 80%.
