Commercial flight using cooking oil biofuel
The first commercial flight running on biofuel derived from cooking oil took off today 9 / 11 from Seattle, United States.
The Alaska Airlines announced that it will use biofuel prepared by Dynamic Fuels, a mixture containing 20% of cooking oil and 80% traditional jet fuel.
Lufthansa was the first European airlines to use biofuel and United Airlines was the first American company to make a commercial flight with biofuel made from algae, last Monday.
The UN agency for Industrial Development UNIDO, signed on 3 November an agreement with Quinvita to support the increased use to produce bio-energy crops.
Biofuel works the same way that the average fuel used by aircraft, but is much less polluting. Think about it!
