A consortium including British Airways and Shell is hoping to build Europe’s first waste-to-jet-fuel plant at Immingham in North East Lincolnshire.
According to BA, the proposed plant on the Humber Estuary will convert more than half a million tonnes of household and commercial waste into sustainable jet fuel each year.
The airline claims that using the fuel will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70 per cent compared with the fossil fuel equivalent, as well as cutting particulates from engine exhausts by up to 90 per cent and sulphur dioxides almost entirely. - Link
