Boeing and RSB launched an India SAF Readiness Assessment covering 9 dimensions and scoring overall readiness at 52%. Feedstocks, production capacity and technology show potential, while policy, financing, demand and infrastructure require further development. The report describes India’s 1%/2027, 2%/2028 and 5%/2030 international-flight blending ambitions as indicative rather than binding. It does not establish that projected feedstock potential is certified supply or that the targets are enacted mandates.

Aether says its integrated demonstration combined 2.5 barrels/day Aurora conversion and upgrading equipment with RTI’s Fischer-Tropsch reactor. Mass-balanced landfill renewable natural gas and industrial CO2 were used as feedstocks, and independent AmSpec testing found the samples met ASTM D 7566 FT-SPK specifications. The results inform the planned 50 barrels/day Project Beacon in Singapore; this is a demonstration milestone, not proof that Beacon has entered commercial production.
Why it matters:Documents an integrated SAF technology demonstration ahead of the proposed Singapore scale-up.
