Honeywell and AM Green have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at India Energy Week 2025 to explore the feasibility of producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from ethanol, green methanol from carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, and green hydrogen. This strategic partnership aligns with Honeywell’s commitment to advancing the energy transition and addressing key global megatrends.
The collaboration aims to enhance India’s energy security by focusing on:
- Reducing dependence on crude oil imports.
- Positioning India as a competitive global exporter of green methanol to support the shipping industry’s shift to low-emission fuels.
- Assisting airlines in complying with CORSIA mandates for low-carbon, drop-in fuel replacements.
Ashish Modi, President of Honeywell India, emphasized, “Partnering with AM Green will accelerate India’s transition to a low-carbon economy, support the government’s SAF blending mandates, and establish India as a leader in alternative fuel innovation. By combining Honeywell’s advanced carbon capture and ethanol-to-jet technologies with AM Green’s expertise in green hydrogen and ethanol production, we are taking a significant step towards a sustainable future.”
Mahesh Kolli, Co-Founder and Group President of AM Green, expressed excitement about the partnership: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Honeywell, a global leader in technology shaping the future of energy. This partnership highlights AM Green’s role as a key player in the clean energy transition, supporting India’s goal of becoming an exporter of cost-effective, sustainable green molecules and contributing to global industrial decarbonization efforts.”
This collaboration is also expected to benefit Indian farmers by increasing demand for ethanol feedstocks, aligning with the government’s National Green Hydrogen Mission aimed at scaling up green hydrogen production and green methanol for both domestic and export markets.
The feasibility study, set to conclude by mid-2025, represents a major step toward achieving large-scale decarbonization and positioning India at the forefront of the global clean energy revolution.
