Air France

Air France has taken a step closer to protect environment with the use of biofuel for the first time in its Paris-Toulouse route flights. The carried will be using the biofuel from Brazilian company Total. It will be a kerosene compound having a 10 percent biofuel.

Air France is not a new applicant to this practice of using the biofuels. Rather, initiatives were taken first by the German aviation major Lufthansa way back in 2011 and were followed by other airlines such as AeroMexico, KLM, United Airlines and Air Canada.

Bio Aviation fuels are currently not used in a big way since these are twice as costly as the traditional kerosene based fuels. This limits their usage to only some important sectors of flights. Another contributing reason is the extremely limited production of these fuels.

Biofuels are made from algae, sugarcane and cooking oil.
