'Sustainable Biofuels for Aviation Greening the
Deserts of the Earth', Filton, UK
25 March 2013 - 25 March 2013
United Kingdom
An event entitled 'Sustainable Biofuels for Aviation Greening the Deserts of the Earth' will be held 28 February 2013 in Filton, UK.
The transport sector, like others in Europe, will have to meet the Europe 2020 objectives. However, the European Commission has decided that it will strive for a balanced approach that takes into account the specifics of each mode (rail, road, waterborne and air transport) while remaining holistic. It will reconcile competitiveness with sustainability and invest both in technology and in relevant socio-economic research.
For the aircraft industry there is no real alternative, such as electricity, from kerosene: The industry is faced with a need to generate kerosene from non-fossil sources. Over the last few years, huge strides have been made in demonstrating processes that can convert biomass into kerosene that meets current technical standards. The outstanding challenges consist in meeting sustainability standards and manufacturing and delivering sufficient quantities, at a price that does not take aviation beyond the reach of consumers.
The conference will be a forum for stakeholders to discuss available fuel alternatives and the latest trends in this field.For further information, please visit:
