How bio-waste could fuel your next flight

The aviation industry has committed to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) will play a major role in making this happen.

It can be produced using widely available feedstock such as agricultural and municipal solid waste.

Countries including India are already implementing national biofuel policies to support the scale-up of infrastructure and technology to produce more sustainable fuels.



We all know the world must do more to tackle carbon emissions. The Inter-Governmental Panel for Climate Change’s (IPCC) latest assessment report shows climate change strategies submitted in 2015 by nations during COP 21 in Paris are not adequate to contain global temperature rises within 2-degree celsius limits. The report underlines the urgent need to decarbonize the environment by deploying technology in our daily lives that reduces the carbon intensity of our actions across all spectrums of human activity. The zero-carbon future demands immediate action from all of us.



In October 2021, the global air transport industry committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 – but this will not be an easy task. The average long-haul flight generates more CO2 than the per capita emissions of many countries. A large aircraft such as a Boeing-747,
