British Airways are busy building an energy plant that hopes to produce jet fuel out of wastage and this is expected to create up to 1200 airline jobs within the first 2 years. BA says that the plant, to be located in east London, will produce two percent of the amount of fuel needed to fly from London Heathrow, whilst from London City it will produce twice the amount. There are 500 000 tons of waste that can be used every year to make about 16 million gallons of fuel.
This will help the environment greatly, as it will prevent a huge amount of waste from going to the landfill. This normally produces methane gas which is said to be more potent and damaging a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. United States company, Solena Group, has agreed to build the energy plant and BA has agreed to buy all of its output.
According to British Airways, the plant will begin producing fuel in about 4 years time and only at full capacity a while after that. The process will take the waste collected and it will be fed into a gasifier which will burn the waste at an extremely high temperature. The gas produced from this is known as BioSynGas and then another process called Fischer Tropsh, will covert this gas into bio fuel.
Aside from the fuel, the waste products will also be used to supply more than 20 Mega Watts of power to the national grid as well to the power plant itself.
