What is the News?<\/b><\/h5>\n

The Indian <\/span>Bio-jet fuel has been formally approved for use on military aircraft of the Indian Air Force(IAF).<\/span><\/p>\n

This approval will enable Indian armed forces to use bio-jet fuel produced using indigenous technology across all its operational aircraft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Indian Biojet Fuel Technology?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Developed by:<\/b> The Indian Institute of Petroleum (CSIR-IIP), a constituent laboratory of the CSIR.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sources of Production:<\/b> Bo-jet fuel can be produced from used cooking oil, tree-borne oils, short gestation oilseed crops grown off-season by farmers and waste extracts from edible oil processing units.<\/span><\/p>\n

When was the aircraft with <\/b>Bio jet fuel tested?<\/b><\/h5>\n

In 2019, an aircraft filled with blended bio-jet fuel flew over RajPath at New Delhi during the Republic Day celebrations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, in 2020 another aircraft, filled with blended bio-jet fuel safely landed and took off from Leh airport at high altitudes under severe winter conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bio jet fuel was also used on a civil, commercial demonstration flight operated by SpiceJet in 2018 from Dehradun to Delhi.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of <\/b>Biojet Fuel Technology?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Firstly,<\/b> it will reduce air pollution by virtue of its ultra-low sulphur content compared with conventional jet fuel and contribute to India\u2019s Net-Zero greenhouse gas emissions targets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, <\/b>it will also enhance the livelihoods of farmers and tribals engaged in producing, collecting, and extracting non-edible oils.<\/span><\/p>\n
