Will jet fuel developed from organic waste reach net-zero carbon emissions in tests by the end of 2023?
Market Rules
Scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (USA) are developing a type of fuel that is made from the remains of food, the so-called organic waste. Instead of going to landfills, taking up space, and releasing polluting gases into the environment, these residues could be turned into aircraft fuel.
The goal of the new compound is to reduce carbon emissions to the environment to virtually zero. That is to say, even if the process still involves burning fuel and releasing gases, such emission should be lower than the emission caused by the garbage in landfills, what scientists call net-zero emissions. Testing of the new fuel is expected to begin in 2023, with Southwest Airlines planes.
If the aircraft fuel developed by Scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (USA) from organic waste successfully reaches net-zero carbon emissions in the tests with Southwest Airlines aircrafts in 2023, this market will be resolved as “Yes”.
