Boeing Targets 100% Biofuel Jets

摘要

Boeing said on Friday it will begin delivering commercial airplanes capable of flying on 100% biofuel by the end of the decade, calling reducing environmental damage from fossil fuels the “challenge of our lifetime." Boeing’s goal — which requires advances to jet systems, raising fuel-blending requirements and safety certification by global regulators — is central to a broader industry target of slashing carbon emissions in half by 2050, the US planemaker said.
