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.

Biofuels: Ready to Fly into the Future

Imagine flying from Los Angeles to the Washington, D.C. region on a plane fueled with American farm products or forestry waste. Sounds farfetched? Well, it is already becoming a reality. Thanks to U.S. production of sustainable aviation fuel, airlines can help address climate change and create rural jobs by using this fuel option. That’s why USDA, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Energy announced a “Grand Challenge” to support the production of 35 billion gallons of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) per year by 2050.
