BioFuelNet Canada to develop advanced biofuels solutions for aviation

摘要

BioFuelNet Canada, a not-for-profit organisation hosted by Montreal's McGill University, has signed an agreement with Air Canada and Airbus to explore biofuel solutions for aviation. Air Canada and Airbus are part of a broad coalition, which has pledged carbon neutral growth from 2020 and to reduce greenhouse emissions by 50% by 2050. BioFuelNet Canada will assess the viability of various Canadian advanced biofuels solutions for aviation, focusing on diverse raw materials, such as municipal solid waste and agricultural and forestry waste, as well as a range of conversion processes available for biofuel production.
