This innovative approach aims to reduce reliance on petroleum-based fuels and minimize environmental impact. A team from Chulalongkorn University\u2019s Faculty of Science is scaling up production of aviation biofuel derived from a high-fat-producing yeast strain. Their method also repurposes agricultural waste, addressing burning problems and creating value from farm byproducts.<\/p>\n<p>Yeast, a microorganism crucial in food and beverage production, may soon play a key role in renewable fuel generation. The researchers isolated a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (CU-TPD4) with exceptional fat accumulation abilities. This research comes at a critical time. Thailand\u2019s jet fuel imports have skyrocketed from 84.9 million liters in 2016 to 376.3 million liters in 2019, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers are now focusing on scaling up production and improving yeast strains to increase oil yield. They\u2019re collaborating with PTT Public Company Limited\u2019s Biological Engineering and Precision Fermentation Laboratory to evaluate and optimize the biofuel production process. Beyond aviation fuel, this research opens doors to producing high-value fatty acids for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, supporting sustainable life science industries. As the world seeks alternatives to fossil fuels, this Thai innovation offers a promising path toward greener skies and a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/scienceblog.com\/546022\/jet-fuel-from-grass-thai-scientists-turn-microbes-into-green-aviation-fuel\/#google_vignette\">Science Blog<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-554\/\">Jet Fuel From Grass: Thai Scientists Turn Microbes Into Green Aviation Fuel<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[575,1743,15288,1180],"class_list":["post-132385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fuel","tag-green-aviation","tag-microbes"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132385\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
