A collaboration of US researchers has pioneered a 100% sustainable aviation fuel using an underutilised natural resource known as lignin.<\/h2>\n
Lignin comprises the rigid parts of a plant\u2019s cell walls, and although parts of plants have previously been employed to design biofuels, lignin has been overlooked due to the challenges of chemically breaking down lignin and converting it into useful products.<\/p>\n
Experts now appear to have overcome these difficulties, developing an aviation fuel from lignin that is 100% sustainable that may enable the airline industry to cut its carbon emissions significantly.<\/p>\n
