Boeing moves to biofuels
American aircraft manufacturer Boeing continues to try to abandon the kerosene and replace it with biofuels. It became known yesterday that the company has reached an agreement with the Finnish company Neste Oil, specializing in the production of biofuels based on palm oil and waste fish production, the use of its products for refueling their ships.
According to the Finns, it would allow Boeing to reduce the amount of harmful emissions by 90%. And this despite the fact that the technical requirements of biofuel must be mixed with jet fuel in a 50/50 ratio. However, the plans of the aviakontserna more modest. The Americans hope to reach the level of zero emissions growth over the next five years, and by 2050 to reduce the amount of malicious exhaust twice in comparison with 2005. Neste, with its annual production capacity of 2.5 million tonnes, is expected to play a significant role.
"The airlines and airplane manufacturers are making serious efforts to reduce the burden on the environment, and sustainable renewable aviation fuel is one of the key aspects of addressing the problem," says Kaisa Hietala, Vice President of Neste oil renewable products. – We are pleased to work with Boeing, in order to create a commercial market for aviation biofuels".
"Boeing is proud to support Neste – the world leader in the production of renewable fuel. Our common goal is to expand the application and ultimately reduce the cost of biofuels for aviation, says Julie Felgar, managing Director for strategy in the environmental field Boeing Commercial Airplanes. – The aviation industry is obliged to make air traffic more environmentally friendly". published
