Camelina biofuel to undergo turboprop test
A consortium led by Saskatchewan-based Targeted Growth Canada (TGC) plans to conduct a biofuel test flight with a Porter Airlines Q400 turboprop by early 2012. The fuel will be based on the oilseed crop camelina. The other programme participants are Bombardier Aerospace, Honeywell’s UOP, Sustainable Oils, and Pratt & Whitney Canada. The aircraft is equipped with PW150A engines.
