As part of this partnership, the two companies will explore opportunities to scale SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) production in the domestic market, support the certification of domestically produced SAF, and advocate for policies to develop a robust SAF ecosystem in the country, Boeing said in a statement.

According to global airlines body International Air Transport Association (IATA), India has the potential to be a key producer of SAF by utilizing its ethanol supplies and availability of lipids feedstocks like non-edible industrial oils.
