Aviation industry calls for concerted push on biofuels

clipped from www.biofuelreview.com Aviation industry delegates today (1st April) called for a 'concerted push towards the use of sustainable biofuels on commercial flights' in the future.  The call came at the end of the fourth Aviation & Environment Summit, being held in Geneva where the industry was considering what action was needed to make a real change in the way the industry approached the future. "Delegates showed that they would like to see the commercial use of sustainable biofuels, the introduction of new technologies and the support of governments in pursuing these objectives," said Paul Steele, Summit organiser and Executive Director of the Air Transport Action Group. "Policy makers must support industry efforts to accelerate the commercialisation and implementation of aviation biofuels by enacting positive measures to attract investment and facilitate their introduction.”
