That means that the Lockheed Martin F-35 and the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets will essentially be running on alcohol, margarine, and other recycled household products.
Royal Air Force s biofuel push
The announcement was made as part of the U.K. s push for carbon-neutrality by 2050, a timeline that is shared by many other nations worldwide amidst official climate emergency announcements.
As
Monch explains, drop-ins fuel sources include hydrogenated fats and oils, wood waste, alcohols, sugars, household waste, biomass, and algae.
Estimates suggest that substituting 30 percent of fuel with an alternative source could reduce CO2 emissions by 18 percent. Using waste for fuel also has the added benefit of preventing it from going to landfill.
Jet fuel is “basically highly refined kerosene,”
It Still Runs explains. But that’s a matter of habit more than a strict requirement there are great incentives to use this fuel, not reasons we
must use it. Kerosene is less volatile than gasoline, for example. And jet fuel comes in the same range of quality, additives or not, and other factors that gasoline does.

“Known as ‘drop-ins,’ these sources include hydrogenated fats and oils, wood waste, alcohols, sugars, household waste, biomass and algae. Estimates are that substituting 30 [percent] of conventional fuel with an alternative source in a jet [traveling] 1,000nm could reduce CO2 emissions by 18 [percent]. As well as cutting emissions, using diverse and readily available materials such as household waste (including packaging, grass cuttings and food scraps) will prevent waste being sent to landfill.”

The Food and Drug Administration on Friday night authorized the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech for emergency use, a potentially major step toward ending the coronavirus pandemic. The still-experimental vaccine, which was found to be more than 90 percent effective in late-stage clinical trials and does not appear to have caused severe side effects, is expected to be rolled out for health care workers and long-term care facility residents in the coming days, the first phase of what should be the largest vaccination campaign in U.S. history. Immediate distribution will be limited, with about 3 million doses expected in the initial shipments, but the goal is to vaccinate 20 million people by the end of December, and another 30 million and 50 million in January and February, respectively. A second vaccine developed by Moderna, which could receive an emergency use authorization as ea

A string of unique heritage conversionsâsuch as The Ned and LâOscar Londonâhave left their mark on the British capitalâs buzzing hotel scene in recent years. But none have approached the scale of the ongoing Raffles project in the heart of Whitehall, where the Old War Office, a grandiose neo-Baroque pile dating from 1906, is being carefully remodeled. Originally designed to have 1,100 rooms and four kilometers of corridors, this monumental seven-story structure once hosted British spies and served as Prime Minister Winston Churchillâs office during World War II.
Back in May of this year Lisa Hagan Books published my book,
The Rendlesham Forest UFO Conspiracy. It’s a book that suggests the strange events that took place in those English woods in December 1980 had
nothing to do with aliens, but
everything to do with secret, military experiments. Taking into consideration the fact that this December is the 40th anniversary of the famous event, I figured that at least a couple more new books on the subject would surface. I wasn’t wrong. In September,
Rendlesham to Redemption: A Story of Transformation appeared. The author is Steven R. LaPlume. He was one of those involved in the controversial affair. I haven’t seen LaPlume’s book yet, but I will be reviewing it soon. There is, however, yet
