Happy Monday!
Have you
read in The New York Times about the
increased interest to make sustainable aviation fuel aka bio-jet fuel? Sustainable aviation fuel right now is made
from used cooking oil and agricultural waste. The big plus about it is that it
makes 80 percent less pollution, then current jet fuel. The current aviation fuel is expensive and
only two companies in the United States make the fuel the airlines use right
now. The Inflation Reduction Act has tax
credits to help develop and bring aviation fuel into mainstream as well as
other bio-fuels. Boeing, United Airlines,
and others have decided to invest $100 million which will be put into a venture
capital fund for sustainable aviation fuel technology. The
Inflation Reduction Act as well as a few other laws have encourage all involved
to get on the ball especially in light 2050 is the goal for reduction of emissions
by 60 percent. The industry currently
uses almost no sustainable aviation fuel.* If you would like to read The New Your Times full article, please click the link: www.nytimes.com/2023/02/21/climate/united-sustainable-aviation-fuel.html
