Bio-Kerosene - Aviation
According to Air Transport Association (Iata) Bio-Fuels could improve fuel efficiency as well as reducing CO2 emissions.
Currently the aviation industry emits around 2% of the carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. But at current growth rates, experts forecast it could contribute up to 20% of emissions permitted under global emissions caps planned for 2050.
Iata is comited to the airline industry using 10% alternative fuels by 2017. It is also supporting further research into Bio-Fuels because it believes that they have the potential to reduce CO2 emissions from aircraft by 60% over their entire lifecycle.
The airline industry currently uses 85 bn gallons of aviation fuel each year.
