The skies will smell delicious in Spain. ❤😅😂
Now when there's a bird strike it'll give KFC...
Fantastic solution of recycling cooking oil. However, the main problem of biofuels is when you start to use land area that could have been used to produce food for producing fuel instead
We have plenty of food in the world if we don't waste or fight over it.
WASTE product unless you are planning to eat churros burnt oil for breakfast.
There is nothing fantastic. It is well know for more than 100 years and it is called cracking. It also requires a lot of energy since you have to heat all at more than 300 " C.
@@JeffBilkins Easy to say that to the people starving
@@CarpeDiem13x But what when we don't have enough waste oil and are starting to grow corn or rape seeds to produce fuel?
The kerosane in Spain stays mainly in the planes.
🙄
Everyone tends to think jet fuel is fancy.
It isn’t. Basically close to paraffin. There’s no difficulty adapting to another similar fuel.
Jet fuel is normally highly refined for reliability and safety, but in principle a jet engine will run on just about anything. There have been experiments with running gas turbines on coal dust. Not for aircraft though :).
No it's not close to paraffin, it is between gas and diesel.
@@ciprianpopa1503"not close to paraffin..." The wiki page for Kerosene starts "Kerosene, or paraffin..."
@@ciprianpopa1503 Kerosene is the jet fuel base, and is essentially similar to paraffin, specifically designed for turbine engines used in airplanes. Gas and diesel are made of the same base petroleum distillate but have different additives to make them their specific fuel type; the latter chemical properties have the potential for engine damage and are not used in airplanes.
@ Then diesel is similar to paraffin too. Even bitumen is close to paraffin. What's the point of using all those names though? Why don't we use paraffin or bitumen to run our planes since they are all close?
Spain always does well in renewable energies.
How is cooking oil renewable?
@@foxtrot762 Plant based. Does your cooking oil come from below the ground ? 😂 Mine doesnt.
This is not a renewable source. It's just another energy source that is finite and highly dependent on weather patterns.
@@realnapster1522 If managed well it is renewable. Even solar/wind is dependent on weather patterns but it is renewable.
And Indonesia will be the leading for the fuel since indonesia is the biggest cooking oil exporter
Fast food shops this good business for you.
Jet fuel is similar to diesel, i used to run my old Citroen C15 on used cooking oil 20 years ago.
why does it have to be used oil
How does "i used to run my old Citroen C15 on used cooking oil" prove that "jet fuel is similar to diesel". Jet fuel is not similar to diesel, it's high specification paraffin.
Airlines should partner with fast food chains for their fuel.
Many do, though most fast food chains already have contracted buyers for their used oil, mainly for biodiesel and glycerin production.
The main problem is building new large-scale manufacturing and production capabilities. If governments were smart, then they’d invest and put into law these technologies.
The street food vendors in China recycle their oil out of the sewer and into the fryer for cooking. It is called sewer oil.
?
See this is why i like DW instead of local news , local news kinda sucks sometimes.
Thing is why are we using so much oil to cook with ...fried food is bad no matter how you look at it
Let the idea cook
Love the development
Used cooking oil and hotpot chili oil has been used to make SAF in China for quite some time...
Malaysia and Indonesia (and Singapore too..) going to be super rich
Cooking oil and fats were used as diesel fuel for long
Now were cooking with jet fuel!
Next conspiracy theory coming right up
Conspiracy theorists at its again,didn’t you hear it says cooking oil converted to aviation fuel ⛽️
@@Charlesapril77 Hearing doesn't mean understanding.
We even have a "JP1 kebab" 😂😅😂 fried in jet oil 😅😂😅
😂😂😂 👍
The theory has been around for a long time but the reality is you cannot make enough of it fast enough.
Also the practice is there. It is called cracking the heavy oils. It is used ever since we refine petroleum.
Existing oil refineries are being retrofitted to produce renewable diesel and SAF. Your “not fast enough” argument is false.
Costs 3 times as much as jet fuel. Amazing since all of the work and expense finding oil. getting it, transporting it, refining it then transporting it again. All of the regulations on top of it as well.
At the moment it costs 3x as much. It may become cheaper for various reasons
A lot of people are seemingly unable to understand that biofuels can be made from residual biomass which will completely eliminate the land use and food competition issues.
I think that too. I see that people are complaing that the specific biomass that it needs can't stand the current and future demand of the sector, so there are critics about how it won't success as we can't rely only on it.
I think it has a lot of potential in this sector and helping with other externalities at the same time. If there are limits to it, it can combine well with other options.
@ Hundreds of millions of tons of residual biomass are produced every year by agriculture and forestry. The supply of sustainable biomass is not an issue.
there is no cooking oil in the plane ... at all its only feed stock for the refinery . they make a1jet
Way too small quantities, and oil that could be used for other purposes (like simple diesel), but if it may give a "green image" and allow to grab some public money for the project, it s ok...
So, you can see the chemtrails of the multinational frying companies.
Big step!!🎉🎉 Congrats to all person working to find how to use recicling things. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's better for engines, than for digestion.
spanish people flying planes with olive oil
😂
Weve had tested it in Indonesia back in 2019.
my old vw passat can do that, but i am not allowed to do.
Bueno trabajo 👌🏽 viva españa 🇪🇸 💕
How does this work? "Chemically the end product is exactly the same" and "we were able to show that sustainable aviation fuels have led to lower soot particle emissions". Who is taking viewers for a ride?
The point is our food waste is oil, the same oil OPEC sells the World.
Crude oil that is refined into fuel no matter the grade isn't 100% pure but more like 0.1 or even cleaner. but because cooking oil doesn't have the bad stuff like sulfer and other pollutants that are found in crude oil aviation fuel derived from cooking oil will burn cleaner
If the european union tells you that it s good and want to promote it, then it s true, don t ask question.
Wonderful!!❤️🛩️
Can you imagine the thousands of additional acres required to grow sufficient crops to supply oil to the aviation sector - it will simply lead to the destruction of the existing forests !
Why do you think Bill Gates has been buying up land in the US for years. I remember he had a RUclips ad a few years ago lauding the use of biofuel for private jet travel. I saw a stat somewhere saying he is the biggest agricultural land owner in the USA.
Forests produce biomass in large quantities, the biomass can be converted to jet fuel. Now, the biomass just poses a serious fire threat as it is in the forest. So by removing the biomass from the forests you clean the forests making them less likely to burn and you can power aircraft with the resulting fuel.
@simonsena1378 but it's not biomass that is being used to power jets. It is used cooking oil which come from specific agricultural crops not forest trees.
@@dendoy6406 They are converting biomass from forests into fuels. It needs further research.
There will be not enough bio fuel for aviation.
True but better then cooking oil being dumped into the environment.. other then more co2 🤷♂️
@@InGODweTrust007 how is that realistic for aviation? Like oh sorry we can’t fly today because there is no cooking oil. Please come back tomorrow.
With the amount of fried food US has and the amount of palm oil used everywhere think it will be more than enough
@@hafizuddinmohdlowhim8426 I would not give this anything more than just a test plane. 🤷♂️
There might be also an alternative called eSAF, that wouldn't need bio fuel but could be made with electrification of the devices and Hydrogen. BP and Spain are also working that projects, so Bio fuel could be a mean to that end until that moment.
Madness till an issue happens ...
Sounds nice but the math is a problem - there's nowhere near enough waste cooking oil to power more than a handful of planes.
if may ask should we be worried because the same oil as far our health is concerned
"Take these broken wings and learn to fry again" - you're welcome Mr. Mister
What a beautiful surprise this is.😊
Welcome to the Air Fryer era.
Sounds good. The first time I hear about discount vouchers when you bring used oil to repsol. Tomorrow i gonna check it..... Vamo⚡⚡⚡🔌
Interesting. But how much energy does it take to refine used edible oil into aviation fuel? How different is the total amount from the current fuel used? If greenhouse gases are emitted in the refining process, it would be worse.
CO2?
what about oil from the transformer can it used
So they can make biofuels for planes but have to import gas for their electricity and heating ... Amazing
Nice 👍
And what about the waste?
Spain isn't pioneering anything...cooking oil has been used in converted diesel vehicles for decades now.
More climate-friendly? Take into account all the resources needed to create the feedstock for "biofuels."
Why?
Ethanol from corn. And i have no idea what from cooking oil.
Something those hydrogenated oils are good for .
This is just showing your working on it...but it will mever be mainstream
Why Germany not using this technique .
it smells like french fries😀
If they can do this with plastic too ...
Less contrails, higher temperatures, as shown during the grounding of aircraft over the US after 9/11
Carbon Footprint! What is the cost???
Why on earth are we allowing humans to eat seed oils. Makes no sense...
Because that's a conspiracy theory and humans have been eating seed oils for millennia. I do up half butter, half Canola for a butter millennia and have been using it for almost fifty years, yet I have perfect cholesterol, BP, etc. The oil in the spread is a good source of ALA without getting too much [ALA].
Haha, You will be able to smell the fish and chips when such a place is coming in from England.
and raise prices of cooking oil? there is not enough used cooking oil to sustain aviation industry.
oil is bad for your health !
@@CarpeDiem13x that's an idea promoted to make more oils available for the rest of us cheaper, and it's working. Yum!
@@NWer-c5u no no - frying oil is bad for your health. It is not an idea, it is called SCIENCE. Ever heard of it ?
@@CarpeDiem13x agree but all processed food contains oil, not to mention home cooking. oil is also used in other industries, from plastic to cosmetics.
I don't think the implementation will reach the 100% percent. I think that other projects will take the lead, like the eSAF option at one point, but bio fuel is a good bypass
Fliegende Frittenbude....
This is known as HVO fuel and it is already used in many countries. 😂
Is it used often, and to what percentage. it needs to be mandatort usage, .ore biodisel less toxic crude oil
In commercial aviation? I don't think so.
@@Keepskatinyou need more education on this topic
@@Djamonja in the US already, yes, SAF has been in use for a few years already.
@@NWer-c5u Only on experimental aircraft
We're approaching Back to the Future 2. Throw in some food waste in your car and you can drive a car all day long.
So now we are gonna smell chicken mcnuggets and KFC in the air?
Nope, the smell goes away during the refining process
Simply not scalable as a solution given the current global demand for air travel and jet fuel , as oil for fuel crops compete with land for food , its niche , even the airline is only looking at substituting 10% of fuel.l by 2030. Currently there is no scalable model that gives enough plant based oil.
What's the benefit for the climate if you still burn it?
Think big, there is not enough of it anyway
wonderful news is like we are frying with kerosene!
Play vegetable cooking oil with created not for human consumption but for mechanical use do your research on the history
Theirs something fish in the air
We already use cooking oil in Gaza to run diesel cars and trucks because of the war siege.
PS. Thank you Germany for the new antisemitic genocide you run here. You always emphasize your deep identity.
WTF? Can you explain those diatribes against Germany?
Pilots can identify incidents of bird strike now by when the engine to cabin bleed air system smells like fried chicken
karpe diem ✌️😉
An Airbus A380 can carry 320 tonnes of fuel. We are all going to have to eat chips for breakfast, dinner and tea.
Imagine the first mid-flight engine failure:
"Was it a bird strike?"
"No, French fries"
"Oh ..."
mustard oil is better 🪔🛢️ 😂
So they reinvented the wheel?
No this is nothing new 😂
will the passengers end up fried😢
👍
Not long ago there's a "How China is pioneering the use of airplane fuel as cooking oil".
Stop putting food into engines. Not a good idea.
Wait a sec, those oils would previously have been going to landfill (and not effect climate change) so this is burning them and causing the same climate change as regular kerosene.
But it's "sustainable"... but the problem is not that we are running out of oil, it's the opposite problem
The contrail thing is just green washing. In fact this whole video is greenwashing.
Wait till the run out of the used cooking oil..
Burning oil toxic 😮. No air polution 😢
Plant pils produce far less pollution than crude oil usage.
Hello . the Woke start using Cows milk for sustainable Energy. i was wondering what caused Korea airline . ethopian flight
No thanks...I don't want to be fried
Sustainable? Obviously not😊
It will smell like hot chips
Stop with the climate nonsense already.
I think Neste pioneered this, not Repsol nor Spain.
this is going to bring many dangers renewable = not trustworthy
They aren't pioneering anything!
Yeah, in that sense is just investment. They are investing.
