Airbus partners with China's Sinopec on renewable aviation fuel

Airbus said Monday that it is cooperating with China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) on renewable aviation fuel production for regular commercial use in China, Global Times reported. The certified fuel will be produced by Sinopec using its own technology in a newly built refinery in Hangzhou. The refinery is one of the few in the world that has the capacity to produce aviation fuel from biomass at large scale. The partners are also establishing a sustainable fuel value chain in China to help speed up its commercialization, and will use 100 percent domestic resources and refining capabilities, the newspaper said.
