Virgin Atlantic flies biofuel-powered jumbo jet
ξ Richard Branson throws a babassu nut in front of a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747,
ξ before the world's first commercial biofuel flight to Amsterdam from Heathrow Airport
ξ nuts picked from Amazon rainforests helped fuel the world's first commercial airliner flight powered by renewable energy

Virgin Atlantic flies jumbo jet powered by biofuel
ξ the flight, which landed safely in the Netherlands, carried pilots and several technicians but no passengers
ξ the Boeing 747 reached a planned maximum altitude of 7,620m (25,000feet)
ξ one unmodified engine running on a mixture of about 25 percent biofuel and the rest standard jet kerosene
ξ fuel accounts for 30 percent to 50 percent of airlines' operating costs
ξ aviation contributes about 2 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions, expected to rise to 3 percent by 2050
ξ partners Boeing, General Electric and Imperium Renewables
ξ high oil prices and the U.S. economic slowdown are causing consolidation in the airline industry
ξ aircraft engines cause noise pollution and emit gases and particulates that reduce air quality and contribute to global warming and global dimming
ξ recent scientific studies have found that most biofuels cause more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional fuels, if the full emissions costs of producing these "green" fuels are considered
ξ the destruction of natural ecosystems releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere when they are burned and plowed,
ξ and deprives the planet of natural sponges that absorb carbon emissions
ξ cropland absorbs far less carbon than the rain forests or even scrubland that it replaces
ξ coconut and babassu judged suitable in initial tests and not competing with staple food supplies or cause deforestation
ξ babassu nuts are harvested from palms by local workers from the Amazonian rainforest

»Virgin flies first commercial plane with biofuel
ξ the babassu nut oil/coconut oil blend was produced by Imperium Renewables
ξ Branson foresees using algae-based fuel for his formula rather than what he used in this initial test
ξ the switch to algae is based on the fact that it can be more easily and more cheaply produced than the tested babassu nuts/coconut oil product

»Scottish Association of Marine Science
ξ Malaria infects approximately 515 million people in tropical and subtropical regions every year,
ξ killing between one and three million of these people
ξ its cause is a unicellular parasite Plasmodium falciparum
ξ this organism belongs to a large group of protists (phylum Apicomplexa) that surprisingly contain chloroplasts
ξ – cellular structures where photosynthesis takes place in plants and algae
ξ as apicoplasts do not occur in humans, other animals or plants, they present a promising target for malaria treatment drugs
