Virgin Airlines launches—and flies—biofuel jet
The world's first jumbo jet to burn biofuel successfully flew from London to Amsterdam, and other airlines are poised to follow their lead.
One of the Boeing 747-400 engines was fueled by a mixture that included 25% biofuel made from babassu palm nut and coconut oil, among other natural oils.

According to Greenpeace, high-altitude emissions are a concern for global warming—regardless of their fuel source.
