Expected to take place this month, the series of flights are to be done in Canada using combinations of petroleum fuel and biofuel from US biofuel manufacturer Honeywell UOP , the Honeywell Green Jet Fuel . The programme will be carried out by National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and will test blends of the fuel at higher ratios than previous demonstration flights, which have been conducted using a 50/50 ratio of biofuel and jet fuel produced from petroleum. The flights will also feature in-flight collection of emissions by a trailing aircraft, allowing for later evaluation of the Green Jet Fuel’s emissions performance. Jim Rekoske, vice president Honeywell UOP’s Renewable Energy and Chemicals business unit, said: “This is a unique program of test flights, given that we are using a new feedstock to produce the Honeywell Green Jet Fuel, and it will be used in higher ra...
