Gasoline aircraft extracted from sugarcane

Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer and US Boeing announced on July 26 that they will start a financial investment to study the use of Brazilian sugar as a fuel, greatly reducing house emissions. glasses.

According to information in France24, Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) will also be a third party, contributing financially to this breakthrough green fuel project. American manufacturing company Amyris will be responsible for producing 'gasoline from sugarcane'. Environmental organization, World Wildlife Fund (WFF) will act as an independent consultant and assessment partner.

' Our groundbreaking project will assess environmental conditions and markets for the use of renewable fuels for aircraft ', the parties agreed.

Arnaldo Vieira de Carvalho, the leader of IDB's Aviation Biofuels Initiative Board, said these upcoming renewable fuel technologies have the potential to reduce the 'maximum' greenhouse gas. He stressed Brazil's earlier success in using ethanol from sugarcane to replace gasoline.

' This study will also look at the potential for an overview of the long-term industrial production of alternative aircraft fuels made from sugarcane ,' he added.

Led by ICONE, a think-tank specialist group in Brazil, the study of 'sugarcane-derived jet fuel' is the first to be financed by IDB bank and will promote industry development. Biofuels for aircraft in the long run, according to IDB officials.

Boeing insists, extensive research on 'sugar from sugarcane to airplanes' is really important for diversifying aviation fuel supplies and also helping to build close cooperation on renewable energy. birth between the US and Brazil.

' In the context of biofuels being supported for current commercial jets, it is really useful to understand and ensure the stability of regional supplies; and Brazil plays a very important role , 'said Billy Glover, Boeing's deputy general manager of aviation and environmental policy.

Amyris, director of production for Amyris, emphasized the regeneration of the new fuel: ' Our planet will not benefit from replacing only fossil fuels with a single fuel. other. This study will help replace fossil fuels with renewable fuels that go far beyond the stability and technical standards' .

Amyris, based in California, opened a production facility for sugar cane extract in Brazil, Campinas and in southeastern Sao Paulo provinces since 2009.
