Unfortunately, a flight from Paris to New York would require fat from up to 8,800 slaughtered pigs.
Animal fats are typically regarded as waste-derived primarily from pigs, cattle, and chickens. As a result, it has been suggested that aviation fuel made from fats may have a lower carbon footprint.In fact, demand for such fuel is expected to skyrocket by 2030, with the majority going to the airline industry. There is a growing demand for biofuels derived from animal fats to power Europe's transportation system..
The new study adds that fuel production from dead animals has increased fortyfold in Europe since 2006. The majority of these fuels are used in automobiles and trucks. BBC reported, “While the EU is further down this road, the UK is currently consulting on limiting the type of animal fats that go into jet fuel. The government is mulling a ban or a strict limit on both animal fats and used cooking oil in the aviation sector, worried about the unintended consequences,”
This is not the first time animal byproducts have been used; they have previously been used in pet food and the oleochemicals industries.
