(Natural Resources Canada) … Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, today announced a $2,890,000 investment in the University of Alberta’s biojet technology.
The investment will support the university’s Lipid-to-Hydrocarbon (LTH) technology by developing pathways to generate renewable jet fuel from a range of feedstocks, including waste materials from the restaurant and livestock industries.
Led by inventor Dr. David Bressler, Professor at the University of Alberta, the LTH technology has the potential to reduce the aviation industry’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 90 percent. This will create a solution that is both safer and cleaner compared to traditional jet fuels, which are primarily derived from oil.
