The jet that flies due to tobacco, biofuel made in Italy – La Repubblica



DECOLLERA’ July 15 in South Africa due to fuel “green” developed in Italy. Boeing of the South African company line SAA (South African Airways) will depart from Johannesburg to land in Cape Town: fed for 50% biofuel derived from tobacco seed Solaris. A discovery due Italian company Sunchem Arma di Taggia (Imperia), who invented the way to extract fuel from tobacco with the collaboration of researchers at the Catholic University of Piacenza.

The biofuels has been tested in Italy, South Africa , Brazil and the US and now approaches a critical step. “This first flight is a source of pride and great emotion,” said the founder of Sunchem, Ghilardi Carlo . “Ingenuity and totally Italian resources are the basis of this worldwide success,” he added.

Tobacco that says Sergio Tommasini , Director of the group in a statement rialsciata Business Journal Liguria , “is not GMO, does not contain nicotine, is not toxic, it has a production oil per hectare, much higher than other oil, it adapts to different climates. Maximize the production of flowers and seeds at the expense of the production of leaves, it is extremely robust, can be grown on marginal land not used for food production. “

“from one hectare of tobacco cultivation energy could have an average production of seeds from 6 to 10 tons and over, with more collected during the year. the seed contains about 40% oil and squeezing cold we could have 33-34% crude oil and 65% of protein cake. If he can gain from biofuels for oil and jet fuel for aviation. and, by using the residues, animal feed and biomass for energy purposes “. Sunchem is trying to strike a deal for the development and use of biofuels with Boeing Italy, ENI, Alitalia, Delta Fina and research centers.
