Today’s Rubbish, Tomorrow’s Jet Fuel
The title of this post, is the same as that of this feature article on Professional Engineering.
This is the opening paragraph.
One day, in the very near future, commercial aircraft will be fuelled by household rubbish. Yes, seriously.
It then goes on to describe the Velocys process for producing sustainable aviation fuel from household rubbish.
This paragraph explains, how it will change rubbish disposal.
Interestingly, Velocys won’t have to pay to obtain the waste. “We don’t buy it. We get paid to take it,” says Hargreaves. He explains how the supply chain starts with councils and businesses that are obliged to pay waste contractors to dispose of their waste. Those waste contractors then pay to incinerate the waste or send it to landfill sites. Velocys’s plant will simply act as an alternative disposal route.
The article is a very good explanation of one of the developments, that will shape the future of the world.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
