GPS Renewables partners with SAF One on projects in India

GPS Renewables, an Indian clean fuels company, has partnered with Dubai-based SAF One, a platform focused on the development of global sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) solutions, for the construction and development of SAF projects in India. As a part of this partnership, GPS’ project platform, ARYA, along with SAF One, will co-develop a 20 to 30 million litres per year SAF facility using lignocellulosic waste feedstock (residual dry plant matter). “As India moves towards mandating 1-5% blended usage of SAF starting in 2027, we need more collaborative efforts to address the challenges associated with the  production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel,"" said Mainak Chakraborty, CEO and co-founder, GPS Renewables. “At GPS Renewables, we are committed to eliminating these bottlenecks and facilitate India’s seamless transition towards clean energy. “This collaboration with SAF One is a step in that direction. We look forward to a fruitful partnership to accelerate the production of SAF and help India become a leader in Sustainable Aviation Fuel.” Deepak Munganahalli, co-founder and director at SAF One, said: “The Indian aviation sector is poised for significant growth, and SAF One recognises the critical need for clean energy solutions. “We are excited to be working with GPS Renewables to advance sustainable aviation fuel projects in India and accelerate its adoption of clean fuels. This collaboration adds to SAF One's growing pipeline of projects globally and is a cornerstone of our strategy to support and transform the aviation sector. “GPS’ extensive experience in green energy projects in India and SAF One’s expertise in the development of sustainable aviation fuels while capitalising on its principals’ track record in aviation and circular economy makes for an ideal partnership.”
