The german carrier is thriving to become the first airline to operate on bio-fuel.
it is planning to check this trail on its frankfurt-hamburg route on a international engine with a 50/50 blend of bio-fuel,but the regulatory authority (ASTM) postponed the certification.
Lufthansa has signed an agreement with Finnish oil refining company Neste Oil for the supply of jet fuel derived from vegetable oil using Neste's NExBTL biomass-to-liquid technology. The airline is spending around €6.6 million ($8.9 million) on the project, which it estimates will save around 1.5 million kg (3.3 million lb) of carbon dioxide emissions over the six-month trial.
