Reducing CO2 emissions from the new generation aeroplanes has always been a headache for the researchers, as the planes contribute to more than 2% of the global carbon emissions and the aviation industry is growing rapidly. It was Virgin Atlantic who had flown a commercial flight with biofuel way back in 2008. Though it was only a small percentage of coconut and babassu oil mixture which was added to the regular aviation fuel.
After thorough research and survey, biofueled jet planes have proven to be very effective, and environmental-friendly in the aviation industry.
Jet fuel can be made using a fungus found in soil, rotting fruits and decaying leaves.
