Innovate UK supports Renova re's aviation biofuel testing Renovare Fuels

 


UK-based technology company Renovare Fuels has been awarded support by Innovate UK for aviation fuel testing through the Sustainable Aviation for Clean Growth program.


Fuel standards outlined by the British Ministry of Defence state that turbine-engine airplanes must use fuel that is compliant and certified to meet the ASTM D1655 standard. Renovare Fuels expects that, following the testing program with Innovate UK, the company’s fuel will be approved as a blending agent, suitable for use in commercial aircraft.

 

By completing the testing program, Renovare Fuels hopes its product will be recognized as a valuable and cost-effective alternative, to both diesel and aviation fuel.

 

“Many airlines are hesitant to adopt alternative fuels because of the longstanding issues that have been reported and not addressed,” explained Dr. Kris Anderson, project manager at Renovare Fuels. “For biofuels, there are two primary concerns, the first being the formation of paraffin crystals at low temperatures and the second being the formation of carbon deposits on the fuel injection nozzles.


The program aims to identify any problem components in the fuel so that adjustments to the process can be made to eliminate them. Support from Innovate UK has already begun, and the first stage of testing will commence next month. Both phases of the program are expected to be completed by 31 January 2019.

 

The company has already outlined plans to increase its fuel production output to produce 250 million liters annually by 2030. Working with Innovate UK should help the company expand its market and help more airlines confidently transition to sustainably sourced biofuels.
