New way of producing jet fuel

This is a very interesting experiment; Virgin is going to fly a 747 across the Atlantic using fuel made from recycled carbon emissions.

It takes these waste, carbon-rich gases to first make ethanol. The ethanol can be used for a range of low carbon products, including jet fuel.

And a feed direct from the fuel tank to the drinks trolley??
