See on Scoop.it - Redistributing Wasted Food.
It’s the largest investment by United in alternative jet fuels, but it is not the first.
Norma R. Burnson’s insight:
Sustainable Food for the Globe. Bonus: Finding a Solution! Interesting concept, using garbage to create biofuel with carbon emission 80% less that regular fuel. …“The Fulcrum announcement is a big deal precisely because of the need for low carbon solutions for aviation,” Jeremy Martin, a senior scientist in the Union of Concerned Scientists’ clean vehicles program, told ThinkProgress. “Other companies have made fats and vegetable oils into aviation fuels, but what is important about the Fulcrum technology is the ability to make fuel from wastes like ordinary garbage rather than food resources.” +++++.
