Lufthansa heading for Washington on biofuel
After a six-month practical trial involving biosynthetic fuel, Lufthansa’s first scheduled transatlantic flight to the United States using biofuel will take place on Thursday.
A Boeing 747-400, carrying about 40 tonnes of a biosynthetic fuel mix, will fly from Frankfurt to Washington.
With this flight alone, Lufthansa said it expects to reduce CO2 emissions by 38 tonnes, equivalent to the CO2 emissions of six scheduled flights between Frankfurt and Berlin.
In all, 1,187 trial biofuel flights were operated by Lufthansa between Hamburg and Frankfurt reducing CO2 emissions by 1,471 tonnes.
The German airline said biosynthetic kerosene is “just as reliable as conventional jet fuel but the environmental effects are more positiveâ€.
Lufthansa said it would only continue the practical trial if it was able to secure the volume of sustainable, certified raw materials required in order to maintain routine operations.
