«Certainly the data from our biofuel test flight will be a critical component towards helping biofuel become
a certified aviation fuel,» Air New Zealand's general manager of airline operations and chief pilot, Capt. David Morgan, said in a statement.
«Decarbonization of heavy industry and
aviation will be difficult, which makes converting industrial waste gases into low - carbon jet
fuel a fascinating prospect,» said James Beard, climate and
aviation specialist at WWF in the U.K. «All airlines should pursue the development of genuinely sustainable, low - carbon
fuels that are
certified to minimize indirect land use change.»
