I agree that B100 would probably burn well in a turbine.  As pointed out in a previous post turbines will run on a wider range of fuels than almost any engine (except a steam locomotive??) But knowing something about the aviation industry I will hazard a guess that this will be the last place w

Thanks for the info. I've read it, downloaded the study reports, read them, and passed them and your email on to the individual that was looking for this information. Good solid data. I think that with modification of the biodiesel transesterification process the TAN might be reduced, and as

A neighbor who recently retired from the airline industry has been asking me lately if there's a biofuel that can be substituted for jet fuel, and although I didn't know at the time, I've done some research since, and see that jet fuel is a variant of diesel. Any one out there know what kind o
