Australian-made green plane fuel closer with grant win
Forget farm waste: Australian researchers are developing a way to make environmentally friendly aviation fuel using renewable energy, water and carbon dioxide.
The innovative project, undertaken at the University of NSW, has won a $1.2 million grant to progress the technology and scientists say a prototype could be as little as six months from launch.
The announcement on Thursday comes amid increasing demand for sustainable aviation fuel in Australia and worldwide and follows the launch of several multimillion-dollar projects designed to turn waste into jet fuel.
