Airbus launches flight test program to characterize composition of hydrogen contrails; Blue Condor

Green Car Congress

We know that hydrogen emits no carbon dioxide when burned, but we also know that with water vapor and heat being the most significant by-products, hydrogen combustion does produce contrails. Test flights are scheduled for late 2022 in North Dakota in collaboration with the University of North Dakota.

EERC and Tesoro Partner on $1M Project to Produce Refinery-Based Renewable Drop-in Fuels from Crambe and Other Oilseed Crops

Green Car Congress

The EERC has already demonstrated the production of 100% renewable jet fuel via a thermocatalytic cracking and separation process that can directly replace petroleum derived jet fuel through a project with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Product-specific activities of the EERC-Tesoro project include: Jet Fuel.
