A UK-based #aviation company has created jet fuel from human #poop. Firefly Green Fuels has been developing low-carbon #fuel for approx 20 years. CEO James Hygate told the #BBC that the company experimented with things like waste #oil, waste #food, and agricultural scraps, before turning to #human waste. #Scientists converted human waste into fuel through a process called hydrothermal liquefaction, which uses heat and high pressure to turn the waste into carbon-rich biochar and crude oil, according to #CNN. Firefly Green Fuels worked with Cranfield University to analyze the #carbon impact of the fuel's life cycle, finding it has a 90% lower carbon footprint than standard fossil fuel-based jet fuel. Aviation regulators also conducted independent tests and found that the waste-based fuel was almost identical to standard jet fuel. Hygate said the new fuel is chemically similar to kerosene but that it 'has no fossil carbon, it's a fossil-free fuel.' The #UK Department of Transport awarded the team a research grant of £2 million (approx $2.5 million). The team is also raising money to build a full-scale demonstrator factory. The fuel has the potential to make the industry more sustainable and lower global carbon #emissions. Hygate calculated the UK's total human waste supply could meet around 5% of its total aviation fuel demand.
