British Airways is planning on obtaining 10% of jet fuel through waste to energy processes. They announced their plans to source 16 million gallons of green jet fuel per year from the Solena plant that is expected to run online from 2014. The initial volume of fuel supplied will be 2% of BA’s total fuel consumption but the carbon emissions would drastically be cut down. The waste to energy processes aid in a three fold manner, namely, waste management in the city, it converts the methane and also brings down carbon emissions.
