NRL Explores Ethanol-to-Jet Fuel; Refinery Hits Production Records

NRL Explores Ethanol-to-Jet Fuel; Refinery Hits Production Records

Imagine a factory that makes fuel from bamboo.

This factory, run by NRL, is doing very well!

They're also thinking about making fuel for airplanes, called jet fuel, from ethanol.

It's a tricky process, and they need a lot of ethanol to start.

They're waiting for more of these factories to be built so they can get enough ethanol.

Meanwhile, they’re also making more regular fuel and selling more of it than ever before, including diesel.

They even sell some diesel to Bangladesh!

They're doing a good job making and selling fuel.
