Here is a cool bit of news this morning; Boeing is working with Embraer and the Inter-American Development Bank to study the production of renewable jet fuel made from Brazilian sugarcane. Even sweeter is that this jet fuel is produced by one of our customers, Amyris! According to Amyris CEO John Melo the goal here is to, “help us replace fossil fuels with a renewable jet fuel that surpasses both technical and sustainability criteria.”
The study is being directed by ICONE, a non-profit Brazilian research organization, and the World Wildlife Fund is acting as an independent reviewer and advisor. Sounds like it's a dedicated coalition of minds working on this issue. We’re thrilled that we can indirectly support this kind of innovation and will look forward to seeing the results in early 2012.
