Sustainable Aviation Fuel Is A Major Bet Of The Industry To Reduce Environmental Impact

Studies show that approximately 2% of carbon emissions worldwide come from the aviation industry. With such relevant numbers and real impact on the environment, scientists are seeking alternatives to reduce the sector’s shock on the environment. Two projects make it clear that the future of the industry will be filled with fuels, with reduced impact on the planet.

One example of researchers’ work comes from the University of Georgia, where scientists are using a type of mustard plant for the development of sustainable fuel. The new aviation fuel is said to be capable of reducing carbon emissions in the environment by up to 68%, the University revealed in a press release.

Scientists are seeking a fuel derived from Brassica Carinata, also known as Ethiopian mustard, which is a non-edible oilseed with high potential: “The sustainable aviation fuel based on Carinata can help reduce the carbon footprint of the aviation sector, creating economic opportunities and improving the flow of ecosystem services,” said Puneet Dwivedi, professor at the University.

This was just one of many studies being developed by entities looking to provide a fuel with reduced environmental impact to the market.

One of the cleanest fuels is close to entering world markets, being developed by Twelve, a carbon transformation company. The company created the first fossil-free aviation fuel from CO2.

The fuel is called E-Jet, being developed by the company in partnership with the United States Air Force. The product has great potential to become a scalable and highly efficient clean fuel, significantly reducing environmental impact.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.
