Boeing flying on vegetable oil
The aircraft manufacturer Boeing opened a pilot plant in China for the processing of waste vegetable oil (sorry for gibberish) into aviation fuel. So users of Baidu smart chopsticks will be someone to merge catering establishments abusing oil reuse.
For a start, it is worth remembering that it was Boeing who were the first to fly across the Pacific Ocean on fuel made from used vegetable oil. It was the Boeing 787 Dreamliner back in 2012.

It would be more accurate to say that it was a mixture of standard jet fuel and biofuel from, in fact, food waste - vegetable oil. It was not the first flight of the aircraft on such fuel, but the first flight across the Pacific Ocean. Earlier in the same year, another model, the 747-8 Freighter, flew over the Atlantic Ocean.
Boeing is currently working with the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) on the continuation of the project, namely, it has opened an experimental "plantation" for the production of reactive biofuels.
The venue officially opened on October 22, 2014. It will use technology developed by Hangzhou Energy and Environmental Engineering Technology to remove contaminants from used fuel oil to turn it into biofuels, which can then be mixed with conventional Boeing aircraft fuels.
According to Gizmag , 160 gallons of fuel will be produced daily at the site.
By the way, the Boeing biofuel plane flying the flag of the Japanese All Nippon Airways produces 30 percent less harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
