Dynamic Fuels LLC

Dynamic Fuels, LLC, a joint-venture of Tyson Foods, Inc., and Syntroleum Corporation, is working on producing next-generation renewable, synthetic fuel? from animal fat?, grease?, and vegetable oil? to help contribute to the U.S. energy independence and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Using a specialized process, Dynamic Fuels can produce a variety of diesel? products from summer grade? to arctic grade?. The renewable,synthetic diesel? can be used to produce high-performing fuel for aviation applications that meet all U.S. military requirements².

Dynamic Fuels says that its synthetic fuel uses a proprietary process. The initial physical property and T63 engine testing indicates R-8's performance as indistinguishable from that of S-8?, Syntroleum's Fischer-Tropsch synthetic paraffinic-kerosene-based jet fuel that first flew in 2006 aboard a B-52. Additional, "fit for purpose" property, combustor, and fuel pump tests of R-8 are under way. Dynamic Fuels says the product is also entering the first stages of the MIL-HDBK-510 Alternative Fuel Certification Process?
