Honeywell has announced that SAF One Energy Management Limited (SAF One) will deploy Honeywell UOP’s Ecofining process technology to produce sustainable aviation fuel, marking a key step in SAF One’s plans to develop multiple SAF production units globally, including one in India.

The Tata Group’s engineering and construction arm has been appointed as the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) partner for the project. Honeywell and TPL will together deliver an integrated solution tailored to SAF One’s project requirements.

Developed in collaboration with Eni S.p.A., Honeywell UOP’s Ecofining process technology enables the conversion of waste fats, oils and greases into renewable diesel and SAF. The technology offers a capital- and cost-effective route for producers, while expanding the feedstock base to include used cooking oil and other waste oils and fats.

Through the deployment of this technology, SAF One aims to support the aviation industry’s decarbonisation goals by reducing lifecycle emissions and enabling scalable SAF production.

Rajesh Gattupalli, President, Honeywell UOP, said: “Our Ecofining process technology broadens the potential feedstock base for SAF and enables producers to adapt to shifting market conditions and resource availability. By leveraging our experience and continuous advancements in process engineering, we aim to make SAF production more economically feasible. The installation of our Ecofining process technology with SAF One and TPL demonstrates our leadership in SAF production and ability to help produce renewable fuels at scale.”

Rajiv Menon, President & COO – Energy & Industrial Business, Tata Projects Limited, said, “Our collaboration with Honeywell and SAF One highlights the value of early engineering integration and disciplined execution in delivering scalable SAF projects. Together, we are enabling solutions that blend technology excellence with constructability and lifecycle efficiency.”

Deepak Munganahalli, Cofounder and CEO of SAF One, said, “We are delighted to work with Honeywell and Tata Projects Limited. Their techno-commercial expertise supports SAF One’s ‘design one build many’ approach across our pipeline of SAF projects. This collaboration strengthens our platform and enables us to work with our customers on scalable long-term decarbonization solutions.”

Honeywell and TPL are jointly optimising the technology configuration to maximise capital efficiency, accelerate project timelines and align delivery with SAF One’s global deployment strategy. The collaboration supports climate change mitigation ambitions in India and globally, while reinforcing Honeywell’s leadership in SAF technologies.
