Andrew Parker, Qantas group executive for sustainability, said the carrier had discussed the issue of establishing a local biofuel industry with federal government and opposition in the hope of swift progress after this month's federal election.
So despite your fleet metrics being horrendous, the worst across the pacific, it is the Australian taxpayer who has to cough up for an airline who uses 64% more fuel per RPK across the Pacific.
Technology myths surround bio-fuel. Present food production and cropping would need to be severely limited in order to grow sufficient fuel.
"The study suggested Qantas's fuel efficiency was poor on its Pacific flights because it used four-engine planes on those routes, such as the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380, which consume more fuel than twin-engine planes."
"It is pretty noticeable that Qantas is less efficient by a significant margin than its competing airlines," Dr Rutherford said.
How about you run along Mr Parker and tell Little Napoleon that a new fleet will lower your CO2 emissions

“Our cabin crews see this waste every day and they want it eliminated and increasingly our shareholders are demanding we do more to address our environmental footprint,” Mr David said.
Qantas need a new fleet.
