A company partnered with Virgin
Atlantic Ltd has created a green jet fuel made from waste industrial gases
released by steel mills. US-based Lanza Tech Inc produced 1,500 gallons of the
fuel known as Lanzanol. It’s made from the ethanol created through a
fermentation process. It’s estimated to be 65% cleaner than conventional jet
fuel. This is a real game changer for aviation and could significantly reduce
the industry’s reliance on oil within our lifetime. Aviation is one of the most
polluting industries in the world. Low oil prices have largely deterred the
development of alternative fuels.
