BA, Rolls-Royce ramp up biofuel effort
Source : aviationweek.com
British Airways and Rolls-Royce will begin work on validating 10 different alternative fuel programs this year, with the hope of completing work on the initiative by early 2012. The two last year launched a new call to fuel suppliers to provide 60'000 liters of fuel for testing. A similar initiative failed due to a lack of responses, but this time, 17 suppliers responded saying they could meet the criteria, BA CEO Willie Walsh told an Imperial College London green aviation forum. The airline and Rolls will examine 10 of those in a laboratory environment in the next few months, with rig tests of about five fuels due in the second quarter, followed by full engine tests using two fuels in the second half. Walsh notes that the progress made in biofuels in recent years suggests they can contribute more than first thought in terms of helping airlines reduce their CO2 emissions. "I've become much more excited" about the prospect of such fuels, he notes.
