Swift Enterprises Joins Race for Alternative Jet Fuel
Add another contender to the alternative aviation fuel race: Swift Enterprises. The company, which is based in Indiana, has developed a renewable jet fuel made from landfill waste, sorghum, algae, woodchips, and other feedstocks.
Swift’s biofuel currently costs $60 per gallon to produce, but the company believes that the cost will drop to $1.80 once they begin full-scale production.
And while other companies are also working on alternative fuels for planes, Swift believes that it has the most promising solution.
