In Russia, a partnership agreement signed between aircraft manufacturer Airbus and RT-Biotechprom, a division of the state owned corporation Rostec, seeks to produce jet biofuel from renewable sources.
The partnership is deemed as a significant step in implementing a strategy toward developing biotechnology in Russia, including processing of biomass for renewable fuels. The project is expected to yield some results by the second half of 2014 and the decision to take it to industrial-scale will be based on test flights with Russian-made biofuel.
Airbus is implementing similar projects across locations in China, Europe, South America, the Middle East and Australia.
