Bio jet fuel demand in Mexico The aviation industry will demand 40 Million litres in 2015 and 700 Million litres in 2020 of bio jet fuel in Mexico Litres of bio jet fuel
Bio jet fuel initiative in Mexico • Mexico’s aviation industry has made a Flight Plan program ”Plan de vuelo” started in july 2010 in which all the aviation industry actors, investigators, feedstock producers and Mexican government representatives • The program is to promote the collaboration of all the involved parties and to come up up with a national biorefinary plan in Mexico • 1st demostration flight in Mexico based on jatropha bio jet fuel was made on 1st of April, 2011 • UOP Honeywell is involved in the project and the demostration flight was made with UOP technology (www.uop.com) • Sources for the bio jet fuel are: jatropha, camelina, algae, cactus among others
Demostration flight process 1) Feedstock: • ThejatrophaseedcamefromMexicanproducers: Government of Chipas (90%), Global Energías Renovables (Yucatán), Energy J.H., (Michoacán) and Bencafser (Puebla), 2) Processforgeneratingbiofuels: • PureBio-Keroseno Parafínico Sintético (BioKPS) waselaboratedfromthejatrophaseeds . 3) Extraction and refination: • Theoilwasextracted and pre-refined in Guadalajara and transferredto a biorefinary in Pasadena, Texas, whereitwasprocessedunderthesupervision of UnitedOilProducts (UOP), of Honeywell. 4) Transfer • TheBioKPSwastransferredtothe fuel station in Mexico City, wherethe mixture of 73 % jet fuel (fossile) and 27 % BioKPSwascreated. The mixture wasmadewithstrictcuality and securitycontrols
