Zero‑emission goals drive India‑Oman partnership talks on SAF

Both India and Oman have set ambitious net‑zero fuel‑emission targets, prompting a series of discussions on sustainable aviation fuel. The Omani envoy pointed out that these long‑term objectives create a natural incentive for joint SAF projects, ranging from feedstock cultivation to blending facilities. He said that farmers and collection networks will become central to the supply chain, ensuring a steady flow of biomass needed for SAF production.

Jimmy Olsen of the SAF Association warned that while government bio‑fuel funding can kick‑start the sector, SAF remains capital‑intensive and only becomes cost‑effective after reaching a certain scale.
