 Making Air Travel More Sustainable with Soy-Fuel Innovations Scientists with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Peoria, Illinois, have developed a way to make a better jet biofuel from soybean oil. Fatty acids from soybean oil can be turned into an array of industrial products normally made from petroleum, including fuel, ink and paints. One appeal of plant-based products is that they recycle carbon found in the atmosphere. This makes plants a far more renewable resource than petroleum and other fossil fuels, which add carbon to the atmosphere as they're extracted from the earth and used. |  Waste Water of Cargo Ships is Now Made into Biogas The Baltic Sea Action Group is bringing together operators in a new Ship/t Waste Action co-operation project, in which ships' toilet waste water is discharged into the port and biogas is produced from it. The co-operation will accelerate the operating model in accordance with the circular economy, in which biogas is produced from the toilet waters of ships as a fuel for heavy transport. The Ship/t Waste Action co-operation is developing a waste management value chain between different actors, starting with the Port of HaminaKotka. |
