Welcome to Baere!
  
This is where your fuel and lubricant solutions begin.

Baere is a woman-owned business, formed to fill a niche market in aerospace material management, specifically fuels, lubricants, adhesives, paints, and other organic coatings and seals.
 
Despite the economic downturn research on aerospace fuels and lubricants continues.   New fuels from bio-renewable sources, cleaner burning synthetic fuels, and opportunities away from foreign crude oil provides opportunities.

Aviation Gasoline Replacement the Hot Topic at Oshkosh

 

 

 Baere representatives have just returned from AirVenture 2010 in Oshkosh, WI and did we hear a lot about aviation gasoline.  There were a number of meetings regarding the potential endangerment finding by the EPA, the plan for maintaining a high octane leaded fuel through the days and months ahead as research continues on an unleaded replacement and the needs of the end users.

 

The EAA leadership along with leadership from many of the stakeholder organizations such as GAMA, AOPA, NBAA and ALPA are pushing the industry for a united front to avoid diluting the aviation industry's momentum.  The good news is that there is a short term plan to meet the immediate concerns for meeting air quality and a long term plan for moving to a high octane unleaded fuel.  I won't try to steal the FAST plan's thunder, but readers are encouraged to check it out at http://www.aero-news.net/news/genav.cfm?ContentBlockID=596e80e5-46c5-4912-ad45-2c402e577eb3&Dynamic=1 

 

In the meantime, Baere researchers are heavily involved in supporting the efforts of researchers attempting to develop a replacement fuel and with ASTM in developing a process to guide potential fuel suppliers through the approval requirements.
