On 2nd November 2021, the company's synthetic fuel was used by the Royal Air Force to achieve the world's first successful flight using only synthetic fuel. [16] [17] The fuel was manufactured in Orkney using locally generated wind, and tide and wave energy. [18] The aircraft, an Icarus C42 microlight, was flown around Cotswold Airport. [19]
The RAF's high-performance aircraft needed 100-octane fuel, which was only obtainable from hydrogenated fuels, such as that made at Billingham. [3] Another synthetic fuel plant at Heysham in Lancashire was built in 1941, where it was thought safer. The synthetic fuel processes at Billingham and Heysham both relied on catalysts for the ...

Other companies that have developed coal- or gas-to-liquids processes (at the pilot plant or commercial stage) include ExxonMobil, StatoilHydro, Rentech, and Syntroleum. [13] [14] Several companies have commercially viable plastics-to-liquid-fuel plants, including Cynar PLC (UK) and Agilyx Corp. (Oregon, USA). [15]
Synthetic fuel or synfuel is a liquid fuel, or sometimes gaseous fuel, obtained from syngas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, in which the syngas was derived from gasification of solid feedstocks such as coal or biomass or by reforming of natural gas.
Porsche's interest in synthetic fuels goes back a few years now, but the reasons behind the company's desire to offer a sustainable alternative to gasoline reach back into its racing past and that ...
The so-called "third-generation biofuels", similar to second-generation biofuels with an emphasize on the use of algae and cyanobacteria as a source of biofuel feedstocks, have an additional advantage as they take up a relatively small fraction of space when compared to first and second-generation biofuel sources, and may also help to reduce seawater eutrophication.
