Virgin starts Brisbane biofuel trial
Brisbane airport will become one of the first airports in the world to use biofuel, with Virgin Australia trialling the sustainable fuel source. Virgin has partnered with US-based renewable fuel supplier Gevco to supply "biojet" to Virgin planes out of Brisbane for the next 2 years. Virgin Australia CE John Borghetti said the airline wanted to test whether the renewable fuel source was a viable alternative to straight jet fuel. "The project announced today is critical to testing the fuel supply chain infrastructure in Australia to ensure that Virgin and Brisbane Airport are ready for the commercial supply of these exciting fuels," he said. The renewable components of the fuel will be sourced from local biofuel providers, which create the fuel from mostly sugarcane products and agave. <br/>
