Qantas may build a jet biofuel plant in Sydney
Source : theaustralian.com.au
QANTAS will team with Solena Fuels to investigate the feasibility of constructing the world's second commercial jet biofuel plant in Sydney. The joint-venture will aim to convert commercial waste to biofuel using a $300 million plant based on the Fischer-Tropsch process already approved to produce jet fuel from coal in South Africa and gas in Qatar. A similar plant is being built by British Airways in London. Due to come on line in 2014, the British Airways plant will convert up to 500'000 tonnes of waste a year into 73 million litres of "green" jet fuel, which is enough to power 2% of BA's Heathrow base. It will use food scraps and other household material, such as grass and tree cuttings, as well as agricultural and industrial waste, as a feedstock for the fuel.
