KLM to fly on cooking oilWednesday 22 June 2011 Dutch airline KLM announced on Wednesday the launch in September of more than 200 flights between Amsterdam and Paris operated on biokerosene. The flights will be operated using biofuel made from used cooking oil. KLM began test flights using biofuels in 2009. The biokerosene used on the Amsterdam-Paris route has the same technical specifications as traditional kerosene and has not required any adjustments to the aircraft engines or infrastructure. © DutchNews.nl
As significant as this might be, it should be pointed out that it is a mixture of standard kerosene and a biofuel derived from used cooking oil. By wilber | June 22, 2011 4:24 PM This is pure nonsense, a promotional gimmick! how much C02 is released frying the chips to make the fuel in the first place, then how much is added to that when the fuel is burned? If the emissions are lower the calorific value is likely to be lower and thus would burn more fuel to obtain the same output of energy hence the total volume of C02 will be about the same so where is the good news here?
