BA partly blames lack of UK government support for Solena failure

January 6, 2016 |

In the UK, British Airways partly blames lack of government support for having to scupper its Green Sky project with Solena to produce 16 million gallons of aviation biofuel annually from London’s MSW beginning in 2017. The government has failed to include aviation biofuels in its Road Transport Fuel Obligation policy that provides incentives for road transport biofuels, a policy failure the company says led to investor reticence in the project. Solena entered bankruptcy proceedings three months ago so BA is looking for other waste-to-biofuels technology partners to bring the project back on the table, hopefully with future government support.
