Virgin Atlantic plans move to low-carbon aviation fuel
Sir Richard Branson has promised to introduce a new “green” aviation fuel on Virgin Atlantic planes within two to three years.
The Virgin boss announced the development with LanzaTech, a New Zealand-based company specialising in low-carbon fuel. The new technology involves waste gases from industrial steel production being captured, fermented and chemically converted via Swedish Biofuels techniques for use as a jet fuel.
The revolutionary fuel production process recycles waste gases that would otherwise be burnt into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
