Sinopec and Airbus develop alternative aviation fuel

China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation and Airbus are developing and promoting renewable aviation fuel production for regular commercial use in China.
Sinopec is the instrumental partner in helping the Central Government to establish a Chinese airworthiness certification for alternative aviation fuels made from locally grown feedstocks.
The certified fuel known as 1# bio-jetfuel will be produced by Sinopec using its own technology in a newly built refinery in Hangzhou. The refinery is one of the few in the world that has the capacity to produce aviation fuel from biomass in large scale.
Airbus is supporting the development of the Chinese standard with technical expertise gained in past certification processes with the European Union and US fuels standards bodies and in the selection of sustainable feedstocks.
