Boeing, Alaska Airlines and the Port of Seattle have partnered on a first-of-its-kind feasibility study aimed at identifying the best sites to help deliver 50 million gallons of aviation biofuel to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The resulting report revealed that 20 sites had been chosen out of a possible three based on their access to fuel transportation methods and environmental considerations, as well as other criteria. The report also recommended focusing on small-scale facilities in the short term, and said the next step would be to locate a long-term biofuel source close to the chosen delivery site.
