In Canada, Forge Hydrocarbons, a University of Alberta spinoff company producing renewable fuels and chemicals, is collaborating with Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to work towards a new biojet fuel production facility in the Edmonton area.
A memorandum of understanding, announced during the SMART Airports & Regions Conference & Exhibition, taps into a research program involving close collaboration between YEG and the U of A to create jet fuel from biowaste, based in the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences.
Forge Hydrocarbons uses patented technology developed by U of A bioresource scientist that converts waste fats and oils into hydrocarbons used to produce biofuels.
