Not looking to be left out of the biofuel
party, Air Canada is the latest to try out the eco-friendly alternative
for its jet engines. An Airbus A319 will make the outfit's
pseudo-sustainable flight from Toronto to Mexico City powered by a 50 /
50 mixture of the aforementioned material and regular ol' jet fuel. This
particular blend is derived from recycled cooking oil and meets all
standards to avoid any modifications to the aircraft's existing systems
-- while still offering a 40 percent cut in emissions. In addition to
green-powered trips, the airline is implementing several other measures
to improve its impact on Mother Nature, including the use of iPads over
paper documents for pilots. Here's to hoping that the company will be
fueling it's own 787s with the blend in the near future.
