SAF Association Calls for Using Used Cooking Oil to Produce SAF

Industry body SAF Association (SAFA) called for the use of Used Cooking Oil (UCO) for the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel.

SAFA, a leading industry platform dedicated to accelerating the production and deployment of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), emphasized the need to develop all technology pathways and feedstock routes to decarbonize aviation, a sector responsible for approximately 2-3 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to a statement.

SAFA has made a recommendation to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas on Used Cooking (UCO) to be used for SAF Production and get EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) benefits, the statement said.

SAFA also recommended that stronger collection systems be implemented across restaurants, hotels, catering services, and food processing industries, and India could significantly increase UCO recovery.
