Continental latest to trial biofuel
HONG KONG- Continental Airlines plans to conduct a biofuels demonstration flight in the first half of 2009 in an effort to identify sustainable fuel solutions for the aviation industry.
Continental is the first major U.S. carrier to announce plans to highlight technological advancements in sustainable biofuels that can help to further reduce carbon emissions.
Virgin Atlantic recently trailed biofuel technology on a flight between London and Amsterdam.
“Exploring sustainable biofuels is a logical and exciting new step in our environmental commitment,†said Mark Moran, Continental Airlines executive vice president of operations.
“Boeing and GE Aviation have been frontrunners in pioneering technology that will benefit the aviation industry, customers, and the environment, and we are pleased to benefit from their expertise in this venture.â€
