Europe may not have a single NASA-like organization to act as a focal point for aeronautics research, but it does have Clean Sky. Now entering its culminating phase of demonstrations, and with a follow-on program starting, Clean Sky is having a powerful structuring effect, aligning not only European Union (EU)-funded research but also national programs with common aviation goals.
When announced in March 2013, plans to create the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) backed by more than £3 billion ($5.1 billion) in U.K. government and industry investment in research and development were heralded as a resounding endorsement of the U.K.’s continued major role in commercial aviation manufacturing.
Honeywell company UOP’s biofuel process technology is to be used to produce renewable jet fuel and diesel at a more than $800 million refinery being built in Fujirah, United Arab Emirates (UAE). UOP’s hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) pathway will be used to process about 500,000 metric tons of renewable feedstock a year, half the planned capacity of the plant being built by Dubai-based Petrixo Oil & Gas.
