About Bio-Fuel Technology:

Bio-jet fuel technology was developed by the Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in 2009 and tested between 2011 and 2013.

Bio jet fuel can be produced from animal fat, used cooking oil, waste dairy fat, sewage sludge, etc. The oil needs to have a freezing point below -47 degrees so it doesn’t freeze at altitudes at which planes fly, should not catch fire on ground when being transferred into a plane, must have the same density as aviation turbine fuel, have a certain calorific value and should not choke the filters.

It is also 1.8% more energy dense as compared to Aviation Turbine Fuel and is, therefore, more efficient. A lower Sulphur content causes less wear and tear.
