Initiative Towards sustAinable Kerosene for Aviation



ITAKA demonstrated a very innovative concept promoting the development of aviation biofuels in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable manner, giving a significant impulse to technology and infrastructures, developing a full value-chain in Europe to produce sustainable drop-in Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids at a scale large enough to allow testing in existing logistic systems and normal flight operations in the EU. Both camelina and UCO (Used Cooking Oil) were considered as sustainable alternative feed­stock in the project. Itaka also contributed to create a strong and effective relationship between feedstock growers, biofuel producers, distributors and final users (airlines).
