Making a push for aviation biofuels

The Seattle Times published a story over the weekend outlining regional efforts to make the Northwest a hub for the development of aviation biofuels. You can find it here.

As a national leader in biofuels research, WSU has had a significant hand in this. The university was among the sponsoring organizations for the Sustainable Aviation Fuels Northwest endeavor, which published its final report last year.

As a spinoff from that effort, WSU helped develop House Bill 2422, which sailed through the Legislature this year to help promote the development of aviation biofuels. The bill is on the governor’s desk and though originally scheduled to be acted on last week remains unsigned.
