“The Aviation Fuel Market is set to grow from its current market value of more than $160 billion to over $325 billion by 2026; as reported in the latest study by Global Market Insights, Inc. The rising construction and expansion of airports coupled with rising production and delivery of aircrafts are driving the market share”

Biokerosene is set to showcase the highest growth of over 33% over the study period. The significantly high growth rate can be attributed to the constant development and investments in this fuel for powering future aircrafts. Moreover, rising focus of regulatory bodies and industry participants to produce commercially viable green fuel for minimizing impacts on the environment will further expand the market share. For instance, in 2019, the U.S. Department of Energy announced the provision for a grant of USD 1.7 Million to the Fuel Laboratory of Renewable Energy for accelerating the development of sustainable aviation fuel.

Evaluating the initial implementation phase of the 2020 sulphur cap is in full swing and shipping’s long held concerns over the IMO regulation mandating low-sulphur are yet to be laid to rest, as some of the practical shipping men in Piraeus are pointing out.

“There are problems in safety and quality when it comes to using compliant fuels, Dimitrios Fafalios, chairman of Intercargo and chairman and director, Fafalios Shipping says. He notes ISO 8217 and other regulations “will not protect the vessels, the engines or the crew”

A shipowner said last week: “Fuel prices are killing us right now.”

If only that shipowner knew their were significantly more economic and greener alternatives.........

New strategies to mitigate use of fossil fuels are being implemented, and according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)—such as aviation biofuel—is key to reducing carbon emissions. Currently, there are only five airports with regular biofuel distribution today (Bergen, Norway; Brisbane, Australia; Los Angeles; Oslo; and Stockholm), with others offering occasional supply.

"Perhaps" its the way you ask the question. I asked the crystal Ball online if Quadrise would reach commercial stardom and answer was............its a 'certainty' now that perhaps may or perhaps not reflect in the current SP form.

No need to sell the crystal ball BP, we can access a reliable one online. Barking your million shares and possibly they might make you a millionaire.

Isn't the internet a wonder to be hold

“Fake news”, the chief executive of Lufthansa has called it. But his counterpart at Air France calls it the airline industry’s “biggest challenge”. So does the president of Emirates: “It’s got to be dealt with.”

New Mexico’s Descartes Labs, one of the firms refining this remote sensing data into what it calls a “digital twin” of the planet, provided the data for Quartz to create these maps. The snapshots show regions with the most NOx emissions between August 2018 and September 2019. The darkest purple areas show the imprint of the human world.

Anyone know of a fossil fuel fuel that when burnt produces significantly less Nox and particulate matter?

Rarely do you see the environmental implications of the fuel change other than the benefits of less sulfer however the fuel producers keep quiet about the extra CO2 released to the atmosphere as a result of removing the sulfer at the refinery.

Its robbing Peter to pay Paul

Climate change: Oceans hotter than ever before, new study reveals
Ocean waters hit their highest temperature ever last year, and the rate at which they are warming is speeding up, a new study has revealed. Researchers called the new data "further proof of global warming."

"The pace of warming has increased about 500% since the late 1980s," John Abraham, one of the researchers behind the study, told NBC News.

Abraham, who is a professor of thermal sciences at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, was not surprised by the results of the study. "The findings, to be honest, were not unexpected. Warming is continuing, it has accelerated, and it is unabated. Unless we do something significant and quickly, it's really dire news."

Alaska Airlines has been commended for including sustainable aviation fuels on an opt-in basis in Washington State’s proposed Clean Fuels Programme in the US.

Welcoming the news, the Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) Producer Group, the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) and the Low Carbon Fuels Coalition (LCFC) said: “Alaska Airlines’ support of Washington’s low carbon fuel legislation signals that transportation companies who look to the future are embracing renewable fuel policy.

“Alaska is the dominant carrier at the rapidly expanding Sea-Tac Airport and has been at the forefront of utilising sustainable aviation fuel to lower carbon emissions. Standing with Governor Inslee, Climate Solutions, the American Lung Association, and the Auto Alliance, the aviation industry is working to decarbonise the skies.”

The SAF Producer Group comprises leading producers and developers of sustainable aviation fuels, including Fulcrum, Gevo, Neste, Red Rock, Velocys and World Energy.

You rarely spout facts EB. More your opinion having worked at the recycling centre for how many years? Here's a glowing fact for you:-

The UK already has a 2050 target - to reduce emissions by 80%. That was agreed by MPs under the Climate Change Act in 2008, but will now be amended to the new, much tougher, goal. The actual terminology used by the government is "net zero" greenhouse gases by 2050.

Funny, I've been topping up daily this week and all but one (crossing trade) of my top ups were listed as sells even the one this morning at 09:44. I'm ok with it though just means those MM are pushing it lower for the next top ups.
