Jet biofuesl take off

17 Feb 10

Jet fuel is responsible for upwards of 40 percent of an airline’s operational costs, making this industry particularly sensitive to volatility in the oil market. As a result, airlines, airplane manufacturers and federal governments are major stakeholders in the effort to find a stable, sustainable replacement for fossil fuels to power planes. Commercial airlines are not the only interested parties.  The US and Chinese governments have both been investing heavily in researching bio-based jet fuels as potential replacements for conventional jet fuels.
