Extremely interesting. Thanks very much for showing this.

So, this mean Airbus A380 could fly with Bio-fuel in future!

what are the advantages of this fuel

Cleaner, safer and more environmental friendly because it does not contain sulphur.

Yes, but the more important is that it’s an alternative to oil, and even the oil companies themselves start to recognize that oil production is reaching a peak.

natural gas is a byproduct of crude oil

can this alternative fuel be used in automobiles?

I sure hope they use this GTL ( Gas To Liquid) fuel not bio fuel as one said this is when you compress the gas into a liquid (well to my understanding at least) and produces less emissions. For Airbus sake they better use it since this plane holds key to the company’s future due to high cost of fuel these days and if they don’t use it expect sales of this plane to fall which would be a shame to all those who put all their hard work on this plane because Airbus surpass Boeing in my opinion now.

The problem is a lack of cheap oil, it is becoming vastly more expensive to find and develop fields, in the deep oceans, as oilshale or tarsands etc. Gas isn’t expected to reach peak production until decades after oil. Natural gas, methane, CH4, can be reformulated into various liquid fuels using various processes including Fischer-Tropsch. It is not liquifying the gas, that is LNG. The basic methane molecule is taken apart and put back together as C12H26 or higher chains that make up jet fuel.

wot is the maximum altitude and speed
