ALTAIR FUELS Next Generation Aviation Biofuels
ECOFINING™ TECHNOLOGYUsing Honeywell UOP’s next generation Hydroprocessing technology, AltAir Fuels has already produced and tested over 500,000 gallons of HRJ-8 jet fuel..
Growing pains• Tom- “a whole bunch of the camelina seed blew
out of the back of the trucks”
• “we estimate we could complete your request in 3-6 years”– Request for ruling from gov’t agency
• “get off my land farmer” - to camelina salesman– Farmer was holding a shotgun.
It is cold and snows in Montana
