LanzaTech is reportedly in talks with its partners IndianOil and Jindal Steel & Power to help them set up plant to produce commercial bio jet fuel from ethanol.
Prabhakar Nair, vice-president for business development for Asia Pacific, LanzaTech was quoted as saying "as a first step, LanzaTech will open an office in the country in the first half of 2012 as part of its plan to expand its operations here. However, the proposed plan only includes technology sharing and not any investment in the plant and machinery."
Virgin Atlantic has already committed that it will begin trials using renewable bio jet fuel on its Shanghai- New Delhi-London Heathrow route within two to three years, added reports.
