Shell, IAG, Velocys Invest in Factory to Convert Waste to Jet Fuel
Europe's first proposed commercial plant that converts waste to jet fuel is set to come into operation in 2024.
Altalto Immingham Ltd., a joint venture between Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA.LN), International Consolidated Airlines Group SA (IAG.LN) and Velocys PLC (VLS.LN), said Tuesday that it has submitted a planning application to start construction on the factory near Immingham, England in 2021.
Using technology from green-fuels maker Velocys, the plant will take in more than half a million metric tons of nonrecyclable "everyday" household and commercial waste a year, converting it into fuel that offers a 70% reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions over fossil fuels, Altalto said.
