The first trans-Atlantic flight by a commercial jet powered solely by so-called sustainable aviation fuel has flown from London to New York.

    I wonder how did they make a liquid fuel out of tallow, and how many cows does it take to fly from London to NY per one passenger.

      I remember some Discovery channel’s show called “the Colony" where they used rotting hog carcasses to power a tractor. They simply heated the hogs to get the tallow out and used it while it was hot to pour it into the diesel engine.

      I’m curious about this too. My father-in-law often talks about using various different oil sources for diesel. He’s been wanting to convert his truck for years. Or at least he just likes talking about it.

      Anyway, it’s really interesting how used oils can be processed. It’s not even that complicated in many cases.
