イタリアの企業がボーイングと組んで南アフリカで
ニコチンなしタバコでバイオジェット燃料を作って
います。３～５毛作もできるそうで、将来有望だとか。。。
バイオ燃料、静かになったと思ったら、頑張ってる
ひとがいるんですね。
The company is called SunChem
(http://www.sunchem.it/
) and has developed a
non-nicotine version of tobacco that is grown for
its seeds for oil production.
The company recently agreed a partnership in
South Africa with Boeing and South African
Airlines for the use of this biofuel as jet fuel:
