    AIR NEW ZEALAND FLIES WEAK BIOFUEL

    NZ airline flies jetliner partly run on biofuel
    Ray Lilley, December 30, 2008 (AP)

    “Air New Zealand has tested a passenger jet powered partially with oil from a plum-sized fruit known as jatropha…the airline became the latest carrier experiment with alternative fuels, partly due to the threat of rising oil prices but also to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from aviation, which are projected to rise by up to 90 percent by 2020…Air New Zealand said the two-hour flight from Auckland International Airport was the first to use what are known as second generation biofuels to power an airplane. Second generation biofuels typically use a wider range of plants and release fewer emissions than traditional biofuels like ethanol.
