Boeing's new option is aimed at advancing the use of aviation
biofuels, which studies have shown can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80 percent on a typical flight.
To outline the chemistry of making fuel from biological sources, chemists and chemical engineers discuss
biofuels from renewable and alternative feedstock and green processes;
biofuel chemistry and process intensification;
biofuels from microalgae and other waste sources and biorefinery concepts; and energy balance, techno-economics, and life-cycle inventories.
New Delhi: The Union Cabinet okayed National Policy on

Members of the European Parliament have rejected an attempt to phase out support for crop-based
biofuels. So what's next in the food versus fuel debate?After years of controversy surround the European Union's financial support for using palm oil as

Biofuel production reached to 105 billion liters in 2010, and
biofuels provide huge amount of the world's fuel for transport purpose, which is made up of ethanol and biodiesel.
According to an audit of the implementation of the EU
biofuel production and use targets in the period January 1, 2008 a December 31, 2012, Bulgaria is also delaying the adoption of legally enshrined sustainability criteria for
biofuels, the countryas annual consumption of
biofuels is low, and the growth rate of the
biofuel share has decelerated.
"Boeing is committed to finding ways to reduce aviation's carbon emissions, and sustainable aviation
biofuels are a key component of our strategy," said Jeffrey Johnson, president of Boeing Middle East.
"Embraer is committed in supporting the development of sustainable
biofuels for aviation, and the joint efforts with Boeing will undoubtedly contribute to the company continuing to be in the forefront of research in this area," said Mauro Kern, executive vice president, engineering and technology, Embraer.
