Why use biofuels for aviation?
The aviation industry has seen huge growth since its beginning. Today, more than two billion people enjoy the social and economical benefits of flight each year. The ability to fly conveniently and efficiently between nations has been a catalyst for the global economy and has shrunk cultural barriers like no other transport sector. But this progress comes at a cost.
In 2008, the commercial aviation industry produced 677 million tones of carbon dioxide (CO2 ). This is around 2% of the total man-made CO2 emissions of more than 34 billion tones. While this amount is smaller compared with other industry sectors, such as power generation and ground transport, these industries have viable alternative energy sources currently available. For example, the power generation industry can look to wind, hydro, nuclear and solar technologies to make electricity without producing much CO2 . Cars and buses can run on hybrid, flexible fuel engines or electricity. -powered trains can replace locomotives.
The aviation industry has identified the development of biofuels as one of the major ways it can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Biofuels provide aviation with the capability to partially, and perhaps one day fully, replace carbon-intensive petroleum fuels. They will, over time, enable the industry to reduce its carbon footprint significantly.

Hi Adriana,
How are things back in Rome? Are you glad to be home again? Sorry I haven't written lately. I've been a bit depressed. My grades aren't
as good as they used to be. Classes didn't use to be so difficult!
I have to say, I miss you. You used to be such a good influence on me! These days, I oversleep. I often miss my classes! That never used to happen because I knew I had to meet you at the café in the morning. I remember how you would complain about the coffee here in Canada. You used to call it ―brown water‖!
I'm spending too much money too. Every time I go to the mall, I see something I want to buy. That's another reason I miss you! I would see some great jacket, but you wouldn't let me buy it. You would always tell me I didn't need it and drag me away!
Also, I have a noisy new roommate, Cindy. All she ever does is gab on her cell! Remember the way we would sit around talking? You always used to make me laugh. I bet that's a big reason I never used to feel stressed like I do now!
Anyway, exams will be over on Friday, so I'm sure I'll feel better then.
Write soon!
Annie

Our Conquering Swords
Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593)
1. Our conquering swords shall marshall us the way
2. We use to march upon the slaughter'd foe,
3. Trampling their bowels with our horses' hoofs,
4. Brave horses bred on the white Tartarian hills.
5. My camp is like to Julius Caesar's host,
6. That never fought but had the victory;
7. Nor in Pharsalia was there such hot war
8. As these, my followers, willingly would have.
9. Legions of spirits, fleeting in the air,
10. Direct our bullets and our weapons' points,
11. And make your strokes to wound the senseless light;
12. And when she sees our bloody colours spread,
13. Then Victory begins to take her flight,
14. Resting herself upon my milk-white tent--
15. But come, my lords, to weapons let us fall;
16. The field is ours, the Turk, his wife, and all.
