India is looking to used cooking oil as a feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel, part of its green aviation ambition and an effort to reduce reliance on imported crude. Leftover cooking oil is drawing interest from state-owned majors as an alternative feedstock. An inefficient and fragmented supply chain could pose a challenge as the country prepares to introduce its Sustainable Aviation Fuel mandate.
