Extending biofuels into the aviation sector

Extending biofuels into the aviation sector will be discussed on January 8 at the Indiana Biomass Energy Working Group meeting.

“Opportunities for biomass feedstocks are evolving for creating biofuels to be used in the aviation industry, and there has been quite a push for that research at Purdue,” said Chad Martin, Purdue Extension renewable energy specialist. “When most people think of biofuels they think of E85 and biodiesel, so we want to bring an awareness to Indiana about the possibilities with aviation.”

The Indiana Biomass Energy Working Group meeting will be held January 8, 2013 at the Beck Agricultural Center from 11:30 to 5 p.m.

The meeting will include presentations from both Purdue University biofuels and aviation experts.
