Honeywell, AM Green to Explore SAF Production in India

Honeywell and AM Green have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) during India Energy Week (IEW) 2025 to evaluate the techno-economic viability of producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from ethanol. The partnership will also explore the production of green methanol from various carbon dioxide (CO?) emission sources and green hydrogen, reinforcing India's commitment to sustainable energy solutions. 

Collaboration Objectives 
This initiative aligns with Honeywell’s focus on energy transition and aims to enhance India’s energy security while reducing crude oil import dependency. The companies will work together to position India as a competitive global exporter of green methanol, aiding shipping companies in adopting low-emission alternative fuels and helping airlines meet CORSIA mandates for low-carbon fuel replacements. 

Industry Perspectives 
Ashish Modi, President of Honeywell India, emphasized that this partnership will advance India's low-carbon economy and foster an ecosystem that supports SAF blending mandates, positioning India as a leader in alternative fuel innovation. By leveraging Honeywell’s proven carbon capture technologies and ethanol-to-jet solutions alongside AM Green’s expertise in green hydrogen and ethanol production, this collaboration aims to drive sustainable industrial transformation. 

Mahesh Kolli, Co-Founder and Group President of AM Green, expressed enthusiasm for partnering with Honeywell, highlighting AM Green’s leadership in clean energy transition solutions. This partnership will contribute to India’s ambition of emerging as a key exporter of sustainable and cost-effective green molecules, accelerating global industrial decarbonization. 

Broader Implications 
The initiative also benefits Indian farmers by increasing demand for ethanol feedstocks and aligns with the government’s National Green Hydrogen Mission, boosting green hydrogen production through green methanol for both domestic and export markets.

Handling concrete better

Efficiently handling the transportation and placement of concrete is essential to help maintain the quality of construction, meet project timelines by minimising downtimes, and reduce costs – by 5 to 15 per cent, according to Sandeep Jain, Director, Arkade Developers. CW explores what the efficient handling of concrete entails.Select wellFirst, a word on choosing the right equipment, such as a mixer with a capacity aligned to the volume required onsite, from Vaibhav Kulkarni, Concrete Expert. “An overly large mixer will increase the idle time (and cost), while one that ..

Elevated floors!

Raised access flooring, also called false flooring, is a less common interiors feature than false ceilings, but it has as many uses – if not more.A raised floor is a modular panel installed above the structural floor. The space beneath the raised flooring is typically used to accommodate utilities such as electrical cables, plumbing and HVAC systems. And so, raised flooring is usually associated with buildings with heavy cabling and precise air distribution needs, such as data centres.That said, CW interacted with designers and architects and discovered that false flooring can come in handy ..

The Variation Challenge

A variation or change in scope clause is defined in construction contracts to take care of situations arising from change in the defined scope of work. Such changes may arise due to factors such as additions or deletions in the scope of work, modifications in the type, grade or specifications of materials, alterations in specifications or drawings, and acts or omissions of other contractors. Further, ineffective planning, inadequate investigations or surveys and requests from the employer or those within the project’s area of influence can contribute to changes in the scope of work. Ext..
