Qatar Airways, Airbus to develop aviation biofuels

Qatar, which holds the world's largest proven reserves of LNG, is to develop sustainable biofuels for the aviation industry in an initiative led by Qatar Airways. CEO Akbar Al Baker said 'where world leaders had failed in Copenhagen, my small country of Qatar leads the way'. The initiative with the Qatar Science & Technology Park, Qatar Petroleum and Airbus will use biofuels, which will be produced from fuel stocks that have no effect on the food chain or the water supply. Bakr went on to say 'a carbon-neutral aviation industry is achievable'.
