The Spanish Initiative for the Production and Consumption of Bio-kerosene for Aviation (so-called Bioqueroseno.es initiative) is a national program, led by the Spanish government involving actors from the full value chain in a public-private partnership.
The development of the Initiative has been raised in 3 stages:
· Feasibility Study (2010-2012): pre - analysis of the environmental, social and economic feasibility of the production chain and consumption of bio – kerosene.
· Demonstration (2012-2013): to develop the demonstrating of the most promising processes according with the results of the Feasibility study, including feedstock scale-up, analysis of grain, oil and bio – kerosene transport and a bio-jet-fuel demonstration plant. An environmental, economic and social analysis will be done, considering the sustainability certification under recognized standards such as RSB (Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels).
· Implementation (2014 onwards): to develop the implementation and temporary scaling of the bio – kerosene production process.
The Initiative provides a framework for information exchanges among National Authorities and stakeholders. It facilitates both synergies between industrial partners and connection with other international initiatives which develop the production and consumption of bio – kerosene. |
