Boeing welcomed China President Xi Jinping to its airplane factory and announced several agreements that will deepen the cooperation between Boeing and China. The two committed to further development of China's commercial aviation industry and meet strategic business objectives for Boeing.
Another agreement announced was Boeing and National Development Reform Commission's initiative to turn agricultural waste in China into sustainable aviation biofuel. Boeing will partner with NDRC to turn items from farms, such as corn cobs and wheat stalks, into sustainable jet fuel to reduce aviation's carbon emissions.
"Together, we're finding innovative ways to support China's aviation industry and help build a sustainable future," said Mr. Ian Thomas, President of Boeing China.
