The oil made from gutter oil is called bio-aviation kerosene, which is made from a variety of animal and vegetable oils and fats, and is produced by self-developed hydrogenation technology, catalyst system and process technology. China Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is actively expanding the source of raw materials for bio-jet fuel, and developing the technology of processing waste cooking oil and seaweed to produce bio-jet fuel. 20 13 April, the first test flight of 1 bio-jet fuel independently developed by China was successful.

This test flight first marks the complete success of China's self-developed and produced bio-jet fuel in commercial passenger aircraft applications. China has become the fourth country with its own research and development technology for bio-jet fuel after the United States, France and Finland, and Sinopec has also become the first enterprise in China with its own research and development technology for bio-jet fuel.

Application of bio-aviation kerosene;

On February 20 14 12, the Civil Aviation Administration of China issued the project approval letter of 1 to China Petrochemical, which indicated that the domestic 1 bio-jet fuel was officially approved for airworthiness and could be put into commercial use. China thus ranks among the few countries in the world that have mastered the independent research and development technology of bio-jet fuel. ?

Bio-jet fuel is aviation kerosene produced from renewable resources. The 1 bio-jet fuel approved for airworthiness this time uses palm oil and waste cooking oil as raw materials.

Xu Chaoqun, deputy director of the Aircraft Airworthiness Certification Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, introduced that the 1 bio-jet fuel is airworthiness, and China's bio-jet fuel has achieved a breakthrough from scratch. ?

In the next step, China also plans to use qualified bio-jet fuel for scheduled flights and obtain reliable evidence to verify its stability. ?

Although bio-jet fuel has obtained the "ticket" for commercial application, it still has a long way to go before large-scale promotion, and the main problem is the excessive production cost.

According to international standards, the production cost of bio-jet fuel is two to three times that of petroleum-based jet fuel. Take restaurant waste oil as an example, it takes about 3 tons of restaurant waste oil to produce 1 ton of bio-jet fuel. Restaurant waste oil is different from waste oil, and it must be water-free oil, so the collection cost is high.

At the beginning of entering the market, the price must be borne by oil companies and airlines. With the strengthening of carbon emission reduction and the promotion of the marketization of bio-jet fuel, the price will eventually be determined by the market.
