BOZEMAN, Mont. --- Sustainable Oils, a producer of renewable, low carbon and domestically made fuels, announced jet fuel derived from its camelina powered the successful test flight of a U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor aircraft. The aircraft was powered by a 50/50 fuel blend of conventional petroleum-based JP-8 and biofuel derived from camelina.

"The F-22 flew on Friday, March 18 and performed flawlessly on the biofuel blend citing no noticeable differences from traditional JP-8," said Jeff Braun, director of the Alternative Fuels Certification Division, part of the Aeronautical Systems Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

According to the Air Force, the flight test “consisted of air starts, operability, and performance at different speeds and altitude throughout the flight envelope. The F-22 Raptor performed several maneuvers including a supercruise at 40,000 ft. reaching speeds of 1.5 Mach. Supercruise is supersonic flight without using the engine's afterburner.”

To date, Sustainable Oils has contracted for more than 500,000 gallons of camelina-based biofuel with the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Army. Fuels derived from camelina have been the most thoroughly tested of all aviation biofuels. They have successfully powered a variety of aircraft, including commercial airlines (Continental, Japan Airlines, KLM) and multiple military aircraft (A-10 Warthog, FA-18 Hornet, and MH-60S Seahawk Helicopter).

“Camelina-based jet fuel is ready for liftoff,” said Scott Johnson, President of Sustainable Oils. “As this most recent test demonstrates, it needs no additional research, development or technology. It actually adds to the food chain, and dramatically reduces the carbon footprint of the fuel.”

Although it is a plant, camelina does not compete with crops grown for food. Rather, it grows well in rotation with wheat and on non-irrigated land. Given its high protein content and Omega 3 fatty acids, its “meal” (what is left after oil extraction from the seed) has been approved by the USDA for livestock and poultry feed, thus adding to the food chain.

A Michigan Tech University life cycle analysis (LCA) of camelina jet fuel showed that it reduces carbon emissions by 75 percent compared to petroleum jet fuel.


Sustainable Oils, LLC is a producer and marketer of renewable, environmentally clean, and high-value camelina-based renewable fuels. Sustainable Oils is focused on the continued research and development of dedicated energy crops such as camelina. Sustainable Oils solidly supports both agricultural and green energy initiatives with camelina, which is efficiently and economically grown in rotation with wheat and even on marginal lands, harvested with traditional equipment, and requires minimal water.

玉米油比石油含碳少?但是碳氢比越高燃油热值越高吧?
打了再说。
继绿色大黄蜂之后再出绿色猛禽?
什么绿色绿色的,简直就是王八蛋
飞机都用植物油了,植物油面积必然增大,那粮食作物面积就要减少
世界上还那么多地方有人饿肚子吃不饱
这东西一旦普及,肯定有些傻波一的只有种地能力的国家大量出口玉米
到时候秃鹫等着小孩饿死的照片不会少的
排气臭不臭?
武器还考虑环保节能减排?
美国佬有病得治。。。。
总能量消耗恐怕更大
怪不得 最近菜都比肉贵了

PS:不许吃肉啊
是和瑞士联合研制的那款?
武器也要节能减排……太装了…

    MD每年的玉米出口占全世界的80%...他们就是玉米多。。。
军用发动机使用植物油只是开始,慢慢普及到民用就是悲剧

    生物燃料不是植物油。。自己去科普一下自己吧。。

碳减排的概念是整体概念,不是指油料中的含碳量多少。石油等化石能源的含碳量原本是封存在地下的,抽上来烧掉,整体来讲大气中的含碳量就增加;生物燃料中的碳基本来自于大气,烧了并不增加,至少是并不显著增加大气中的含碳量。

    别激动,生物燃料不一定是花生油之类。比如美国富油海藻养殖已经成一定规模了,可以生产生物柴油,军方前两年就开始使用了,这不和农作物争地。再比如我们和美国都用玉米之类做酒精加在汽油里,巴西还直接烧酒精,那些玉米改富油作物提炼也是一回事,不会对粮食产生直接冲击。
    饿肚子是事实,可矿物能源衰竭也是事实,总要有个过渡过程,过渡中问题逐步来还好慢慢解决,总不能今天为了吃饭看着烧石油,我们烧完了、吃饱了问题都丢给后代吧,等到矿物能源枯竭,又没建立一套完备的替代能源体系,替代能源的副作用也没一套解决手段,那时饿肚子的只会更多,悲剧只会更严重
   我倒是觉得海藻生物能源之类挺好,变相利用太阳能,借海藻之类来解决太阳能不易储存运输问题,而且基本可以利用现有设施和设备,比如加油站、各种车辆等等,如果不是用生物柴油,这些设备全要改造或者报废,本身也在浪费能源

    不是这么算的,一棵玉米或者一些富油海藻,他们的碳本身来自空气,提炼只是整个植物的一部分,就算提炼出来烧了也是回归空气,而且残渣中还要很多碳直接回归大地,整个过程比烧矿物油低碳多了
原来记得新闻上讲过美国人冬天壁炉不烧柴了,烧玉米粒,环保热能高~顿时内牛满面!
很好很强大,美帝从此用更为环保低碳的方式在全世界抢夺资源。。。。
油价还是粮价,这是一个很纠结的问题。更纠结的问题在于,现在美国人如果通过技术上先行一步,

那么完全可以在国际粮油两个市场上来回给你折腾两下。
