Virgin Atlantic unveils plan to use 'green' fuel
Virgin Atlantic is hoping to convert waste gases from industrial steel production into a 'green aviation fuel', to be used on Virgin Atlantic aircraft within three years. The waste gases would otherwise be released as carbon dioxide. A demonstration flight is planned within 12-18 months, the airline has announced. The airline is partnering with LanzaTech, a low-carbon development firm, to develop the fuel. LanzaTech estimates the new recyling process could apply to 65% of the world's steel mills and could also be used in other metal processing and chemical industries. The process used by LanzaTech is detailed on their website at http://www.lanzatech.co.nz/content/lanzatech-process.
