India’s Tata Projects Limited has been selected by SAF One Energy Management Limited as its EPC partner for a HEFA-based (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids) Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) project in the Middle East.
Advancing the transition to low‑carbon aviation, the Project will convert used cooking oil (UCO) and other waste oils and fats into SAF, playing a pivotal role in regional and global decarbonization by enabling the production of low‑carbon aviation fuel and reducing dependence on conventional fossil‑based jet fuel. It also represents an important milestone in SAF One’s plans to develop a portfolio of Sustainable Aviation Fuel facilities globally, including one in India.
As EPC partner, Tata Projects will deliver an integrated, scalable project solution, leveraging its approach of standardized designs, advanced construction methodologies, and optimized modular execution strategies. This approach is aimed at improving schedule predictability, optimizing capital efficiency, and enabling faster replication of SAF facilities across multiple geographies.
The project configuration integrates globally proven process technologies for feedstock pre-treatment and hydroprocessing, ensuring flexibility across multiple waste-based feedstocks and compliance with ASTM D7566 international SAF specifications. Tata Projects’ role encompasses overall project integration, constructability-driven design development, and execution readiness for a first-of-its-kind SAF facility in the region.
