A core group of 15 commercial airlines has signed non-binding memoranda of understanding (MOUs) for negotiating purchases from two different producers of synthetic jet fuel: AltAir Fuels LLC and RenTech Inc. These alternative fuels will be more environmentally friendly, on a life cycle basis, than today’s petroleum-based jet fuels.

(AE The CEC grant will enable the company to build upon prior enzyme optimization work conducted at its Butte, Montana cellulose/starch demonstration facility, and help the State of California achieve the goals of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS).
Sustainable Oils provided the hydrotreated renewable jet (HRJ) fuel used to create the 50-50 HRJ8-JP8 blend used in the recent all-engine biofuel flight test in a US Air Force A-10C Thunderbolt II. Earlier post.). The new facility doubles Sustainable Oils’s laboratory and office space.
a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Clean Energy Holdings, a feedstock-only pathway for the production of camelina-based fuels under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). Camelina is primarily grown in Montana, eastern Washington, the Dakotas, and Alberta, Canada. The feedstock-only CI (carbon intensity) is 7.58 gCO 2 e/MJ.
The announcement provides the opportunity to expand the use of non-food, energy crops for liquid biofuels and to help meet state mandated Renewal Portfolio Standards (RPS). REPREVE Renewables, based in Georgia, also is the sponsor of the project’s accompanying environmental assessment. USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) administers BCAP.

It bumps up the acreage from the 22 million acres it recommended in January, and this plan adds five additional states – Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming – to the six states – Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah – analyzed in the original plan. times the amount of public land available for solar.
Charged : I understand that the EPA sets emissions standards, and NHTSA sets fuel economy standards. I do hope that the financial incentives in this Build Back Better legislation will happen, because there are over $500 billion of climate change [investments], from renewable energy to incentives for electric vehicles.
