#First Opinion
“The growing energy needs of the aviation sector demand greater clarity, commitment, and collaboration from all stakeholders. Our ATF consumption is projected to reach 15–16 million tons by 2030 and 30–31 million tons by 2040. The solution here for all of us is Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). With the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 80 per cent compared to conventional jet fuels, SAF offers a direct way for all of us to reduce the carbon footprint in the aviation sector.”
Sh. Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu,
Minister of Civil Aviation, Government of India
