No, it’s not what you think. We’re talking about switchgrass, a sometime ingredient in so-called “second generation” biofuels (“first generation” biofuels had stuff like corn and palm oil in them, which require a lot of water and land to produce so it’s not real “green” if you catch my drift). Anyway, Continental is getting into the biofuel testing game (Virgin was the first), to reduce that fabled (and utterly cliched) carbon footprint. Keep reading, because I have more to say. |
So, in early 2009, Continental will send up a biofuel-powered jet to see if it works…or, works well. They must know the plane can fly with this stuff. Otherwise the pilot will have a fit.
Switchgrass? Well, it may be part of the biofuel; they haven’t decided yet. Perhaps they’ll go with coconuts. Or algae. Mmmm.
