Eco-Aviation Today
Posted by A. Caleb Hartley on December 10th, 2008 filed in Air Transport, aviation, energy, fuel, jet, oil, transportationLong-time readers will know that I am a pilot and aviation buff as well as being an environmentalist. I go out of my way to find out what is happening in the aviation industry to minimize its impact on the Earth.
So imagine how excited I was when one of the free, digital editions of an aviation industry magazine I am subscribed to opened up an “Eco-Aviation Today” edition!
Air Transport World opened up TODAY with their Eco Aviation Today edition – you can sign up for emails from them, or just go to the “Eco Channel” on their website.
Check it out today to read about Continental Airlines, Boeing, CFM International, and Honeywell planning a January 9th flight using 50% biofuel and 50% regular Jet A fuel. Nothing new, you say? I already wrote about bio-jet fuel, you say?
True, but this fuel, according to Continental, is “a special fuel blend including components derived from algae and jatropha plants, sustainable, second-generation [sources] that don’t impact food crops or water resources, and don’t contribute to deforestation.”
Namaste,
A. Caleb Hartley

That’s awesome to hear! Virgin did this a while back, but I’m glad to see it’s being tried and learned from. Only good things can come from this.

It must be a very fun experience indeed and I wish to do it as well, if only I have the chance…

More companies need to start switching to greener bio fuels, they might as well start investing today as things are only going to get harder for them in the long run.
