Gulfstream Waiting for Wider Biofuel Availability
OEM is waiting for more refineries to supply biofuel around the world and believes demand will grow.

Gulfstream (Booth T139, SD28) continues to adopt the use of biofuels where possible to reduce its carbon footprint, but laments the lack of availability around the world. Derek Zimmerman, president of Gulfstream product support, told AIN that the G600 and G550 on the static display this week at EBACE 2018 used a 70/30 percent blend of jet-A and biofuel, but this was only possible because the aircraft came directly from its base in Savannah, Georgia, where Gulfstream has its own tank, supplied by World Fuel Services (WFS).
