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.
