EP64-Research-Development-Deployment of Sustainable Aviation Fuel India- Dr. AK Sinha Scientist CSIR, Indian Institute of Petroleum

The Climapreneur Show

Will you believe us if we tell you that PLANES can now fly fossil fuel free? In this episode, we speak with Indian Scientist from CSIR, Indian Institute of Petroleum- Dr. AK Sinha. Dr. Sinha along with his team of scientists have developed a home-grown technology to produce bio-jet fuel. The produced bio-jet fuel has been formally approved for use on military aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF). Earlier on 26 Jan 19, an AN-32 aircraft, filled with blended bio-jet fuel, had flown over Raj Path at New Delhi during the Republic Day celebrations. Thereafter, the performance and reliability of the Indian technology were also tested when the Russian military aircraft safely landed and tookoff from Leh airport on 30 Jan 20 at high altitudes under severe winter conditions. The fuel was also used on a civil, commercial demonstration flight operated by SpiceJet on 27 Aug 18 from Dehradun to Delhi. These test flights with green fuel underscored the capabilities and commitment of Indian scientists and airmanship of IAF to serve a national cause. Sustainable aviation fuel made from made from non edible oils and used cooking oil.India's sustainable aviation technology is globally unique because with our technology, aircrafts can fly on 100% sustainable fuel without blending with fossil derived fuel. Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Indian Institute of Petroleum has signed MOU's with Tata Group, Indigo, spice jet for sustainable aviation fuel.
