“Airbus has conducted the first ever flight of its giant A380 jumbo jet using 100 percent biofuel. This is the third Airbus aircraft to fly using the sustainable fuel made up of primarily cooking oil”
With the world facing food shortages for the next two years...

Were the passengers informed before, during, or after the flight that their jet was running on an experimental fuel?
To: Red Badger
Let me guess...they used 120 tons of fossil fuel to make 100 tons of “biofuel” and used up a thousand acres of prime farm land doing it.
To: Red Badger
biofuel on the farm clogged filters it grows something and was a big problem back a few years ago.

That is a very important distinction.
To: Red Badger
So what is the carbon footprint required to produced all of the biomass necessary to generate enough jet fuel to keep the airlines flying?
Just asking for a friend.

It’s teh glycerin. It must be removed for modern engines with piezo injectors. Old mechanical injectors it didn’t bother....................

There’s probably sufficient supply of used cooking oil and waste fats to power a couple of jets for a month at best.
Just because something CAN be done doesn’t mean it SHOULD be done.

Would probably have to farm an area the size of Africa..........

“Let me guess...they used 120 tons of fossil fuel to make 100 tons of “biofuel” and used up a thousand acres of prime farm land doing it.”
good guess ... though i suspect it was much more than 120 tons of fossil fuel to make a 100 tons of vegetable oil ...
