- Indian Air Force’s (IAF’s) AN-32 aircraft was formally fleet “certified” to fly on blended aviation fuel containing up to 10% of indigenous bio-jet fuel.
- The indigenous bio-jet fuel was first produced by the CSIR-IIP (Council of Scientific & Industrial Research - Indian Institute of Petroleum) lab at Dehradun in 2013
- It is made using Jatropha oil sourced from Chattisgarh Biodiesel Development Authority (CBDA).
- This bio-fuel would be produced from Tree Borne Oils (TBOs) sourced from tribal areas and farmers.
- Thus it can augment their income substantially.
