Boeing is working with the United Arab Emirates to make some serious breakthroughs in sustainable aviation biofuel development. The Sustainable Bioenergy Research Consortium (SBRC), affiliated with the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi, is developing a new affordable biofuel that emits 50 per cent less carbon dioxide than regular fossil fuels.
