Used oil from frying pans is being used to flying planes! Yet another significant milestone in meeting India’s SAF blending mandate of achieving 1% blending by 2027, 2% by 2028 and 5% by 2030. This is a positive step towards our cleaner, greener and self-reliant energy future under the dynamic and decisive leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji. Visakh Refinery of @HPCL has inaugurated the demonstration plant of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production through co-processing of Used Cooking Oil (UCO) in its Full Conversion Hydrocracker Unit leveraging the existing refinery assets. As per HPCL’s roadmap, post CORSIA certification, Visakh Refinery will produce ~10 TMT per annum of SAF from January 2027, supporting our nation's commitment to decarbonising aviation and promoting a circular, waste-to-wealth economy. This pioneering initiative strengthens our countries energy #Aatmanirbharta, aligns with global CORSIA standards, and reinforces the nation’s Net-Zero targets. @PMOIndia @PetroleumMin @MoCA_GoI @SwachhBharatGov @HPCL_VR @PIB_India #SustainableAviationFuel #SAF #EnergyTransition #AtmanirbharBharat #NetZero #HPCL
