Japan Airlines (JAL) plans to test the use of biofuel for one of its aircraft next year, in its search for a sustainable and viable fuel for commercial use, The Business Times has reported.
JAL Public Relations Manager, Stephen Pearlman, said it test would be a one-hour demonstration flight out of an airport in Japan sometime before March. It will be the first biofuel demonstration by an Asian carrier.
“The goal is to find an alternative fuel that will help reduce the impact of carbon dioxide emissions generated by the aviation industry, while also reducing the industry’s reliance on traditional petroleum-based fuels,” Pearlman told journalists in Tokyo recently.
