Jet fuel plans give boost to green energy
By paulgreen
Plans by British Airways to build an eco-friendly jet fuel plant by 2014 have been welcomed as a huge step forward by Tees Valley green chiefs.
According to reports, the East London plant will make enough jet fuel from food and industrial bio-waste to power all of the carrier’s flights from London City airport more than twice over.
John Barton, projects director with Renew on Teesside, said it could help pave the way for energy-from-waste projects closer to home.
“This project will prove to the investor community this technology is a good bet,” he said.
“There are energy from waste projects in the pipeline for Teesside.”
