How to make jet fuel from used cooking oil

Air travel is a growing source of greenhouse gas emissions. But a project to turn used cooking oil into jet fuel could help change that, says Tom Parsons

A project that makes fuel for aeroplanes out of used cooking oil could help slow the growth of greenhouse gas emissions from air travel.

BP is selling green aviation fuel, BP Biojet, to three airports in Norway and Sweden. The first to join was Norway’s Oslo Airport in 2016, followed by Halmstad in Sweden and Bergen in Norway, both in 2017.

It is a small start, but it could become a lot bigger. In November 2017, as a proof of principle, aviation biofuel was used for a day at Chicago O’Hare, one of the busiest airports in the world.

Bull$hit!

Whether you use kerosene or cooking oil as a jet fuel, you will still be emitting combustion byproducts that contains mostly CO2. Using cooking oil will just make air travel too expensive for all but the wealthy.

TOTAL BULL$HIT

Filter it well. I'm sure those burnt little chunks of french fries are hard on the fan blades.
