A Letter Of Intent (LOI) has been signed in the presence of the President of the Regional Council of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Signatories to the LOI will evaluate local capabilities and skills in the fields of agriculture, chemicals and energy to produce and distribute sustainable aviation biofuels. Airports, air bases and industry will benefit from the proximity of a sustainable, certified and "drop in" (no engine modification required) fuel source for local use. The Nouvelle-Aquitaine region possesses excellent resources which can be used to develop this production.
