Organic Waste

Boeing, Honeywell International Inc. (HON) and the U.S. Air Force have tested at least 20 different types of fuel derived from organic waste and plants such as jatropha and camelina, found in parts of Europe and North America, as well as organic material, including garbage.

Boeing and Airbus are building supply networks that include growers, refiners, transporters, and distributors to bring biofuel to airports worldwide. Airbus is in the process of setting up a supply hub in India, which has the right climate for cultivation of jatropha and other plants used in biofuel production, while Boeing is negotiating with suppliers in South America.

The challenge now is building fuel production facilities fast enough to meet demand, and that may take at least three more years, says James Rekoske, vice-president of renewable energy at Honeywell’s UOP unit. The company is seeking to license its technology to biofuel makers
