Renewable JP-8 jet fuel created by EERC
A 100% renewable domestic fuel that meets the JP-8 aviation fuel screening criteria, and claimed to be the first of its type, has been created by the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) at the University of North Dakota it was revealed today (30th September). In a statement the EERC explained that fuel samples created from multiple renewable feedstocks were tested at a U.S. government facility to evaluate key specification parameters for JP-8. The samples met all the standards. - Read More
