The USDA has extended for five years its agreement to work with the FAA and commercial aviation partners, including Boeing and industry trade group Airlines for America, to help develop viable biofuels for the aviation industry.
The new agreement follows the 2010-2012 Farm to Fly initiative, a collaboration between the USDA, Airlines for America and Boeing that builds on the work of the USDA Regional Biomdonkey Research Centers, which work with industry partners to produce energy feedstocks in different regions. USA.
The updated agreement focuses on future goals: appointment of B2B Email List personnel, donkeyessment of current and potential raw material types and systems, development of multiple raw material supply chains, development of state and local public-private groups, communication of results and issuance of periodic reports.
In October 2010, the USDA and the FAA jointly announced a three-year agreement to develop aviation fuels from forest and agricultural residues and other "green" feedstocks to reduce dependence on foreign oil. Through this partnership, the agencies combined their expertise in research, policy analysis and aviation to explore different types of feedstocks that could be processed in biorefineries to produce jet fuel.
The federal government and its partners hope to support annual production of 1 billion gallons of aviation biofuel by 2018, the USDA reports.
Earlier this week, biofuel maker Joule announced it was recycling waste CO2 into gasoline and jet fuel components. The company says the technology will allow it to expand its Sunflow product line, which uses solar energy to convert CO2 from industrial waste into fuel, and help meet global demand for replacement hydrocarbon fuels.
United Airlines this month announced a slew of fuel-saving initiatives, including the use of biofuels, to help the company reach its goal of saving 85 million gallons of fuel in 2013.
