A press release mentioning Dynamic Fuels ... who would've thunk it?!?!
** KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has taken another important
step in aviation sustainability. In September KLM will launch more than 200
flights being operated on biokerosene between Amsterdam and Paris. "KLM has once
again shown it is stimulating the development of biokerosene", according to
managing director Camiel Eurlings. "In November 2009 we demonstrated that it was
technically possible to fly on biokerosene. Now, a year and a half after our
first demonstration flight on Camelina, a new phase has been entered around the
world, that of certification. Authorisation will soon be granted to operate
commercial flights on biofuel. I am especially proud to announce that KLM will
take this substantial step in September".
The flights will be operated on biofuel made from Used Cooking Oil. KLM is open
to using different raw materials for the end product, as long as they meet a
range of sustainability criteria, including substantial reductions in CO2
emissions and minimum negative impact on biodiversity and food supply. All
biofuels used by KLM also have to meet precisely the same technical
specifications as traditional kerosene and must not require any adjustments to
aircraft engines or infrastructure.
The fuel is produced by Dynamic Fuels and supplied by SkyNRG, the consortium
launched by KLM and North Sea Group and Spring Associates in 2009. SkyNRG is
actively developing a sustainable production chain for aviation biofuels. The
sustainability of alternative kerosene depends on many factors and is assessed
on a case-by-case basis. **
