Boeing, China Cooperate to Turn ''Gutter Oil'' into Biofuel

Boeing and Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China (COMAC) opened a demonstration facility that will turn waste cooking oil, or "gutter oil," into sustainable aviation biofuel on Wednesday.

Boeing and COMAC are sponsoring the China-U.S. Aviation Biofuel Pilot Project, using technology developed by Hangzhou Energy & Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. to clean contaminants from waste oils and convert it into jet fuel at a rate of 650 liters (160 gallons) per day, according to a statement from Boeing.

Sustainably produced biofuel, which reduces carbon emissions by 50 to 80 percent compared to petroleum through its life cycle, is expected to play a key role in supporting aviation's growth while meeting environmental goals.
