Indian Masterminds Stories

New Delhi: In a major push toward sustainable energy innovation, NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC Limited, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Honeywell to explore the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in India. The agreement was formalized on Monday and marks a strategic step in NTPC Green’s long-term vision to integrate green hydrogen technologies and drive large-scale decarbonization.

Tapping CO₂ and Green Hydrogen for SAF Production
The collaboration will assess the potential of using Honeywell’s proprietary eFining™ technology to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) captured from NTPC’s thermal power plants, along with green hydrogen, into SAF. This groundbreaking approach aligns with India’s climate commitments and is expected to support both domestic aviation needs and export opportunities.

Pudimadaka: The Centerpiece of NTPC Green’s Clean Energy Strategy
The proposed SAF production is a key component of NTPC Green’s upcoming Green Hydrogen Hub in Pudimadaka, Andhra Pradesh. The hub is envisioned as one of India’s most ambitious clean energy initiatives and is expected to catalyze the country’s shift toward a low-carbon, hydrogen-driven economy.

“SAF production forms the sizeable part of the ambitious Green Hydrogen Hub of NTPC Green in Pudimadaka,” said DMR Panda, Executive Director (Green Hydrogen), NTPC Ltd. “We believe that the mandate in the aviation sector for blending SAF in jet fuel will drive many early mover projects in green hydrogen.”

Global Collaboration for Climate Action
This partnership with Honeywell reinforces NTPC Green’s role as a technology-forward player in India’s clean energy landscape. By integrating carbon capture with hydrogen utilization, the project positions India to become a future-ready hub for SAF production, capable of supplying sustainable fuels for both domestic consumption and international markets.

“Our collaboration with NTPC Green will leverage Honeywell’s expertise in SAF solutions to efficiently treat emissions from thermal energy, foster green hydrogen adoption, and help India’s aviation sector meet its long-term environmental goals,” said Ranjit Kulkarni, Vice President and General Manager, Energy and Sustainability Solutions, Honeywell India.

Feasibility Study to Be Completed by Mid-2025
The two companies will conduct a joint feasibility study, expected to be completed by mid-2025, to evaluate the commercial viability and scalability of SAF production in India. If successful, the study will pave the way for setting up a robust SAF production ecosystem, further enhancing India’s green energy credentials and export potential.

It also opens avenues for innovation in low-carbon aviation fuel, an emerging segment with increasing regulatory backing and market demand globally.
