Led by Professor Bin Yang from the Department of Biological Systems Engineering, the research team developed a continuous process to convert lignin polymers into jet fuel. This process, called &#8220;simultaneous depolymerization and hydrodeoxygenation,&#8221; breaks down lignin and removes oxygen to create the fuel.<\/p>\n<p>Lignin, a key component of plant cells, is derived from corn stover \u2013 the stalks, cobs, and leaves left after harvest. The new lignin-based jet fuel is cleaner and more easily usable in jet engines compared to conventional fuels. The hydrocarbons derived from lignin could replace fossil fuel-derived compounds called aromatics, which are associated with contrails and negative climate impacts. Aromatics are still used in jet fuel because they increase its energy content and help maintain seals in engine parts.<\/p>\n<p>The research team is now working to refine its process for better efficiency and reduced costs, which would bring sustainable aviation fuel that much closer to widespread commercial use.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/104923-researchers-convert-corn-waste-sustainable-jet-fuel.html\">Tech Spot<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-598\/\">Researchers convert corn waste into sustainable jet fuel<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16299,575,8896],"class_list":["post-134146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-corn-waste","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-jet-fuel"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134146"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134146\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
