A BIOREFINING process that converts wet waste – including food waste and wastewater sludge – into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has been developed by researchers in the US. The SAF could be used in commercial flights within a couple of years if approved.
Wet waste includes food waste, animal manure, wastewater sludge, and waste fats, oils, and grease. Food waste sent to landfill produces methane and is responsible for around 6% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Using it as a feedstock to produce fuel can halt this emissions pathway, but the moisture in the waste restricts the use of processes such as pyrolysis and gasification to produce liquid biofuels. Recovering energy from wet waste is typically done by anaerobic digestion to produce biogas.
