Is there a blog entry with more info ?<br /><br />I am following the story of Sustainable Aviation Fuel . British Airways was going to support a company Solena producing it from domestic waste in East London before it went bust. The latest incarnation is Velocys (who were to have provided the Fischer-Tropsch catalyst process in the Solena scheme) now looking to do the whole thing at a new plant near Immingham, Lincs. They haven't provided a mass balance, but as I understand it only ~10% of the mass input will end up as hydrocarbon fuel . Presumably the other 90% is effectively incinerated to provide the energy for the process and produce surplus power.<br /><br />If the jet fuel is subsequently burnt, does the plant, by the EU definition , count as an incinerator anyway ?Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965776667657250276noreply@blogger.com
