The Birtish Airways plan to build factory to produce Bio fuels in the European Union cooperate with the US Insitute of Energy Solena.
Of the plant will produce biomass fuel from local waste using plasma technology for waste disposal process and Fischer Tropsch process.
The Fischer Tropsch process is set of chemical reactions that convert a mixture of carbonmonoxide and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons. The process,a key component of gas to liquids technology produces a petroleam substitute,typically from coal,natural gas or biomass for us as synthetic lubrication oil and as synthetic fuel.The Fischer Tropsch received intermittent attention as a source of low-sulfur diesel fuel and to address the supply or cost of the petroleum derived hydrocarbons.
The British Airways's biomass plant located east of london has the potential to change the waste of energy up to 500,000 tons,which can be used as bio fuels is 60 million liters per year. The bio fuel will be used in aircraft of Bristish Airways.
In addition,the project aims to reduce greenhouse gases 95% by reducing waste at landfills to reduce methane emissions and the plant can produce electricity from biomass waste to 20 MW per year.
In my opinion,if Thailand plans to build plant biomass for use by aircraft as well as factory British Airways enable Thailand to reduce import a lot of crude oil.Also making the cost of airline lower result to passengers travel costs down.
ReplyDeleteCurrently,aircruft fuel sales 40,000 THB per ton.The aircraft flying at near use fuel 30-40 tons per trip and 150-160 tons per trip for aircraft flying at far or flying more than twelve hours.
It isn't wonder that airlines have reduced flights.
The words which are needed to review:
ReplyDeleteBiomass Fuel
Plasma Technology
Waste disposal process
Fischer Tropsch process
Greenhouse Gas Emission
Cheers.....You have a long way to go.....
This sounds great. I hope Thai airways or low-cost airways bring up this trend, too.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do not know about the side-effects from the bio-gas they use. Before we follow the trend we must do a good R&D.
