EADS Showcases Algae Powered Flights
EADS, the parent company of Airbus, and Diamond Aircraft are making demonstration flights this week of first ever aircraft powered entirely by an algae derived biofuel.

EADS says the new fuel is not only renewable, but it reduces fuel burn as well as pollutants.
