Scientists are working on plans for an environmentally friendly jet fuel to clean up the image of aviation and head off government threats to curb air travel, writes Dominic O’Connell.
Engineers at Boeing, the American plane maker, say biofuels made from crops or algae may help fuel planes within five years, far sooner than anticipated.
Boeing is coordinating research and development in a consortium whose members include BP, Shell and Chevron as well as the US air force, Nasa and aircraft engine companies. Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Fuels, which has invested in biofuel production in California, is also a member.
“There will have to be further processing of bioethanol or biodiesel to make it suitable for aviation use. It would be used as a blend with conventional fuel — perhaps up to 40% could be biofuel. This is very promising,” said Billy Glover, Boeing’s director of environmental strategy.
The move could preempt plans to curb aviation growth. Although it contributes only 2% of man-made greenhouse gas emissions, the number of flights is rising by about 6% a year. Last year Gordon Brown doubled air passenger duty, paid by those flying in and out of the UK, claiming it would help cut emissions.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
