How a Canadian Factory Makes Jet Fuel from Wood Waste
from The Manufacturing Podcast with Fexingo: Factories, Supply Chains, and Industrial Business · host Fexingo
Lucas and Luna travel to Prince George, British Columbia, to explore a wood-waste-to-jet-fuel plant that’s finally operational after a decade of R&D. The episode breaks down the numbers: 1.5 million barrels of sustainable aviation fuel per year, 80% lower lifecycle carbon emissions, and the engineering challenges of scaling gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. They also discuss the business case — why the Canadian government’s mandates and corporate offtake agreements, not carbon credits, are driving the economics. A concrete look at one of the first commercial-scale biomass-to-jet-fuel facilities and what it means for the aviation industry’s net-zero targets. #SustainableAviationFuel #WoodWasteToFuel #BiomassGasification #FischerTropsch #PrinceGeorge #BritishColumbia #Aviation #NetZero #Decarbonization #IndustrialBiotech #Manufacturing #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #LucasAndLuna #SupplyChain #GreenTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
