    Default United Flies First Plane With 100% ‘Sustainable Aviation Fuel’

    The flight occurred aboard a Boeing 737 MAX 8 filled with 100 passengers and used around 500 gallons of fuel made up of fats, cooking oils, and grease, produced by the company World Energy. United said the fuel blend emits 80% less carbon dioxide than conventional alternatives over the course of its life cycle.

    That plane has a fuel capacity of 6,820 US gallons of aviation fuel. This is really meaningless. Did you bother to read the article you linked? Of course not. Stupid fuck

    Annnnd...what's the cost to produce this fuel? Ahh!

    " the technology needed to produce the fuel itself isn’t yet sustainable. It’s also extremely expensive. Currently, SAFs cost about four times as much as conventional fuel, according to Aviation Today. For a sense of scale, Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian told Bloomberg a year’s worth of the nation’s current SAF supply would be needed to fill its fleet... for a single day."
