EADS, Eurocopter and BioCombustibles del Chubut Sign Agreement

摘要

The creation of an aviation biofuel production facility in Brazil will be evaluated by EADS, Eurocopter and BioCombustibles del Chubut under terms of a cooperative agreement signed at this month's ILA Berlin Air Show. The accord will benefit from the pioneering work in algae-based biofuels already conducted by EADS and BioCombustibles del Chubut, and it builds on Eurocopter's growing presence in Brazil. "EADS understands the importance of working with all elements of the 'value chain' in developing biofuels as an alternate to fossil fuels used in aviation," said EADS Chief Technical Officer Jean Botti. "By teaming with BioCombustibles del Chubut, we will benefit from the company's unmatched experience in developing microalgae as a source of next-generation biofuels."
