Objective

CBSCI's objectives are four-fold:

1. Demonstrate operational feasibility of biojet fuels in the domestic jet fuel supply system,

2. Catalyze the development of the domestic biojet sector,

3. Validate Canadian biojet supply chain elements, and

4. Generate hands‐on experience with biojet handling and integration

Description

CBSCI was created to facilitate early-stage procurement and delivery of alternative fuel into the Canadian commercial aviation supply chain. CBSCI demonstrated that alternative fuel can be seamlessly integrated in the shared fuel supply at Toronto Pearson Airport – Canada's busiest airport – and will enable alternative fuel to be deployed at other airports in Canada.

Since Canada does not currently produce alternative fuel at a commercial scale, CBSCI sources alternative fuel from World Energy in California at a 30/70 blend.
