Boeing hoping for ASTM approval for green diesel as jet fuel by year’s end

In Washington, Boeing is seeking ASTM approval by year’s end to allow green diesel to be used as a replacement for Jet A, allowing the commercialization of biofuels for jet fuel to speed up rapidly. Already production will hit 800 million gallons by the end of this year. The company is seeking an annex to the hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) standard that is already approved for aviation fuel, or to alter the standard itself to include green diesel.
