Honeywell today announced that TruAlt Bioenergy Limited will use Honeywell’s Ethanol-to-Jet
(ETJ) process technology to produce 80,000 tons per annum (TPA) of sustainable aviation fuel
(SAF) in India. The agreement marks a major step towards establishing one of India’s first
grassroots, dedicated SAF production facilities utilizing ethanol as a feedstock.

Honeywell UOP’s Ethanol-to-Jet technology enables producers to convert ethanol derived from
renewable sources into SAF, offering a cost-effective pathway to reduce carbon emissions of air
travel. The process is easily integrated into existing ethanol production infrastructure and can
also produce renewable diesel, helping reduce carbon emissions in the road transport sector.

“Our proven Ethanol-to-Jet technology provides a cost-efficient pathway for SAF production and
will help TruAlt Bioenergy advance its net-zero ambitions while creating value across the
agricultural and energy ecosystems,” said Ranjit Kulkarni, VP & GM – Honeywell Process
Technology, India. “This agreement marks another milestone in Honeywell’s journey to help
India build self-reliance in sustainable fuel production.”

The collaboration underscores Honeywell’s alignment with the Government of India’s
Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision by promoting domestic biofuel production. Once operational, the
project will help reduce CO₂ emissions from the rapidly growing aviation sector while also
contributing to higher farmer incomes through increased demand for bioethanol.

Vijay Nirani, Managing Director of TruAlt Bioenergy Limited, said, “Our agreement with
Honeywell is a defining step in TruAlt’s journey to help build India’s sustainable aviation fuel
ecosystem. By leveraging Honeywell technology, we aim to create a scalable, ethanol-based

SAF pathway that connects India’s farmers directly to the global aviation decarbonization
agenda. Through this project, we are strengthening our conviction that India’s energy transition
must be rooted in domestic feedstocks, strong industrial capability and inclusive economic value
creation without external dependence. Additionally, it leverages India’s unique geographic and
demographic advantages to progressively position the country as a major global hub for
sustainable aviation fuel production.”

Honeywell currently offers solutions across a range of feedstocks to meet the rapidly growing
demand for renewable fuels, including SAF. The company also offers modular renewable fuels
technology that can be built off-site and quickly installed at refineries, lowering risk and
accelerating start-up compared to traditional methods.
