Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in collaboration with Indian Air Force (IAF) has released new standard for bio-jet fuel.
About:
To use bio-jet fuel on all military and civilian aircraft, BIS has in collaboration with IAF, research organisations and the industry brought out a new standard for Aviation Turbine Fuels.
An Indian Standard IS 17081:2019 Aviation Turbine Fuel (Kerosene Type, Jet A-1) containing Synthesised Hydrocarbons, has been formulated.
Significance:
This standard would enable the oil companies to manufacture bio-jet fuel for the Indian aviation industry.
These specifications will align Indian standards with current international standards.
Given the advent of Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) by 2027, this is a significant development.
