Sustainable Jet Fuel Produced from Agricultural Waste
Researchers at Washington State University have developed a patented process that turns lignin from agricultural waste into bio-based jet fuel.
The research, published in the journal Fuel, is touted for producing material properties that are critical to jet engine operation, including seal swell, density, efficiency and emissions. The authors noted that the sustainable lignin-based fuel could be mixed with other biofuels. To boot, it could replace petroleum-derived fuels, they said.
