Biofuel-powered jet engine
JAL successfully tested a biofuel-powered jet engine yesterday:
One of the jumbo jet’s four Pratt & Whitney engines was run on a half-and-half mixture of biofuel and conventional jet fuel.
Boeing Co. developed the biofuel to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in flights. It derives mainly from camelina, a plant in the mustard family.
Camelina is inedible, making it less likely that its application to jet fuel will affect the world food market.
