Sustainable aviation project to grow energy crops on airport land
Source : biofuels-news.com
In the US, Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) and Michigan State University Extension (MSUE) will partner for the cultivation of energy crops. Between them, DTW and another airport operated by the Wayne County Airport Authority (WCAA), Willow Run, have around 1'700 acres of land suitable for growing energy crops. MSUE is currently growing canola and oriental mustard seed on 3 acres of WCAA land. These crops will soon be ready for harvesting before being refined and tested as aviation fuel. The Michigan Economic Development Corporation has awarded the WCAA/MSUE project, which is slated for completion by February 2012, with a $476'000 (€330'500) grant. It is the first scheme of its kind to be established in the Midwest US.
