Boeing signs Mexican biofuel deal in its quest for sustainability
BOEING has signed a research and development deal with Aeromexico and Mexico's Airports and Auxiliary Services (ASA) to produce biojet fuel, reports London's Air Cargo News.
The programme, which is supported by Mexico's Sector Fund for Energy Sustainability and which will be coordinated through the Mexican Bioenergy Innovation Centre, aims to advance research and development of sustainable aviation biofuel in the country.
Said Boeing vice president Marc Allen: "Sustainable jet fuel will play a critical role in reducing aviation's carbon emissions and will bring a new and innovative industry to Mexico."
Aviation biofuel feedstocks in Mexico are expected to include jatropha, salt-tolerant Salicornia and sewage sludge.
Boeing now has active biofuel projects on six continents, including the US, Australia, Brazil, China, Europe, Middle East, South Africa and Southeast Asia.
