Biofuels of Camellia oil will make the flights 70% more environmentally friendly Bashny.Net

According to the NASA study, biofuels will make the skies are 50-70% more environmentally friendly. Now during similar flights in the atmosphere of almost 800 million tons of CO2.

During an air flight in the atmosphere of almost 800 million tons of CO2, making an environmental disaster on the planet all the more real. NASA scientists, jointly with researchers from Germany and Canada, want to solve this problem.





According to them, the biofuels will make such flights 70% more environmentally friendly. To check this fact, NASA employees made several flights on a jet airliner DC-8, each time using a different fuel. Three control plane was flying nearby and monitored the exhaust.

It turned out that one of the promising types of fuel is a mixture hydroblasting esters and fatty acids obtained from vegetable oils of Camellia. It reduces the emissions from 50% to 70%.





Airbus and United have already conducted flights using biofuel based cooking oil and algae. Boeing, All Nippon Airlines and other companies are also exploring new opportunities to create biofuels, such as obtaining it from non-edible plants. That is the fuel I plan to use for air travel during the Olympic games in Tokyo in 2020.

However, there is a view that biofuels cause more harm to the environment than gasoline. Researchers from the University of Michigan claim that ethanol or biodiesel, which are used as liquid biofuels, only increase the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. published
