GPS Renewables, a technology and engineering company dedicated to clean fuels, has partnered with Dubai-based SAF One, a platform focused on developing global sustainable aviation fuel solutions, for constructing and developing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) projects in India. As part of this partnership, GPS’s project platform, ARYA, along with SAF One, will co-develop a facility producing 20 to 30 million liters per year of SAF using lignocellulosic waste feedstock (residual dry plant matter).
Commenting on the collaboration, Mainak Chakraborty, CEO and Co-Founder of GPS Renewables, stated, “As India moves towards mandating 1-5 percent blended usage of SAF starting in 2027, we need more collaborative efforts to address the challenges associated with the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel. At GPS Renewables, we are committed to eliminating these bottlenecks and facilitating 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.”
In addition to its focus on sustainable aviation fuels, GPS Renewables has been at the forefront of biofuel technology and project development, spanning Compressed Biogas (CBG), Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), 2G ethanol, and green hydrogen. With a track record of establishing over 100 biogas plants, including Asia’s largest RNG plant based on Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Indore, GPS Renewables continues to be a leader in the production of clean fuels.
Deepak Munganahalli, Co-Founder and Director at SAF One, remarked, “The Indian aviation sector is poised for significant growth, and SAF One recognizes the critical need for clean energy solutions. We are excited to work with GPS Renewables to advance sustainable aviation fuel projects in India and accelerate the 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’s extensive experience in green energy projects in India and SAF One’s expertise in developing sustainable aviation fuels, combined with our principals’ track record in aviation and the circular economy, make for an ideal partnership.”
