Qantas Bio-fuel Flight

The green fairys are loose in Qantas headquarters..

Qantas has announced it will operate the world's first bio-fuel flight from Los Angeles to Melbourne.

The flight will take place early next year collaborating with Alt-air Fuels and World Fuel Services,

The aircraft will be powered by an inedible which is an industrial type of mustard seed.

The crop is currently being grown in Canada although researchers are trialling it in Queensland.

Qantas says using this type of fuel can reduce carbon emissions by up to seventy-five per cent.
