Boeing Aerospace Corporation will start producing aircraft that will run entirely on biofuels by 2030.<\/p>\n
“To refuel the aircraft with environmentally friendly” fuel “, Boeing will need to modify the engines and other systems of aircraft. In addition, you will need a certificate confirming the safe operation of the aircraft,” – said in a press release.<\/p>\n
According to the head of Boeing’s commercial aircraft division, Stena Dela, the corporation is already working with regulators that manufacture the company’s engines and other partners interested in implementing a new type of airliner.<\/p>\n
“Biofuels for aviation can be produced from a variety of raw materials, including inedible plants, agricultural and forest waste, which are not subject to recycling of household waste and industrial emissions,” Boeing said.<\/p>\n
The press service of the aircraft manufacturer clarified that test flights of equipment on biofuel have already been conducted. However, in real flight practice, aircraft can still operate only on a mixture of jet fuel and environmentally friendly in a ratio of 50\/50.<\/p>\n
According to the US Department of Energy, the use of new fuels can reduce CO2 emissions by 80%. According to the Air Transport Action Group, which studies more environmentally friendly solutions in aviation, commercial flights now account for about 2% of all greenhouse gas emissions and 12% of all transport emissions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":126950,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-126949","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/126949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=126949"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=126949"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=126949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
