At the same time, the company is positive the eco-friendly fuel will reduce Skyrora’s carbon footprint, as well as that of the aviation industry.
Volodymyr Levykin, CEO of Skyrora said: “This came as a great surprise during our short visit to Iceland and I’m delighted that in addition to our successful rocket launch, Skyrora also received the prestigious Leif Erikson Lunar Prize award in Iceland, the world’s second-most highly performing country in environmental issues.
“Global climate change is extremely important for everybody at Skyrora and we see it as our mission and duty to be as environmentally conscious as possible.
“Receiving the Leif Erikson award during our seven-day trip to Iceland goes to show how much potential Ecosene has, not only for the company but for the future of the global space industry.”
