A a 50-50 blend is hardly unique or new. As this excerpt from an old Marketplace article shows. marketwatch.com For the past seven years, aircraft flying from Johannesburg International Airport have used a semi-synthetic blend of 50% jet fuel from coal produced at a Sasol Ltd. (SSL, SOL.JO) coal-to-liquids refinery, and 50% derived from traditional crude oil refining, Sasol says. "Sasol has clearly demonstrated that synthetic jet fuel can be produced from coal; it has been proven in commercial use," a company representative said via e-mail. Sasol hopes to win final approval for use of 100% synthetic fuel, also derived from coal, this year. The South African company said tests conducted in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Defense "confirmed the clean-burning and thermal stability of our jet fuel."
