Alliance uses CTS technology to produce military grade JP-8 renewable jet fuel

Alliance BioEnergy Plus subsidiary Ek Laboratories has developed a pathway to produce JP-8, an advanced military grade aviation biofuel, at the suggestion of US government officials.

Aviation biofuels offer a variety of advantages over conventional petroleum based jet fuels.

Cellulosic biofuels using the CTS process can produce a jet fuel that is nearly 90% cleaner than conventional jet fuels and completely renewable.

The CTS process is capable of processing a wide variety of biomass, including agricultural waste, residential and commercial yard waste, as well as specialty crops, into aviation biofuels.

CTS biofuels will be less expensive to create and transport, they do not depend on oil or commodities markets, and can be produced in small batches at local airports from local feedstocks or in large factories outside of large metropolitan areas servicing the world’s busiest airlines.  

Alliance is working closely with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and has submitted an application under the Department of Energy’s (DOE) funding request to build a commercial scale plant producing aviation biofuel from yard waste, pine chips, and corn stover.        

Alliance is currently in discussions with several ethanol producers relating to its bolt-on CTS unit capable of processing dried distillers grains and other biomass while it continues meeting with potential territory and plant sub-licensees from around the world.

The CTS process is proving to be versatile and capable of producing several different products from a variety of biomass feedstocks, at the same time.
