Humber Highlighted As Prime Location For Sustainable Aviation Fuel Cluster

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Business Live.

Points to note from the article.

• Development of a waste-to-aviation biofuel plant on Humberside could be a £219 million annual boost to the economy and create 1500 jobs.
• There is a pipeline to Heathrow from the Humber.
• Velocys is backed by British Airways and Shell, and the UK government.
• Not bad for an Oxford University spin-off of an updated process that produced diesel for the Nazis and apartheid South Africa.
• Other potential sustainable aviation fuel clusters have been identified including Teesside, the North West, South Wales, Hampshire, St Fergus and Grangemouth.

Velocys is a share to watch!

Other Thoughts

I feel the following could happen.

• Velocys will make a large hole in the need for landfill capacity.
• Other old chemical and refinery processes will be updated using new catalyst technology, from universities like Oxford.

But will British Airways be accused of rubbish flights in the tabloids?
