Aviation issue stirs up anger

Sep 26 2008 Evening Gazette

BRITAIN has infuriated its European partners by lobbying for aviation
to be removed from renewable energy targets, it emerged today.

But Christine Ourmieres, Air France KLM general manager said the
carrier remained committed to converting its fleet to biofuels as soon
as the technology became available.

On a visit to Durham Tees Valley Airport yesterday she announced the
airline had signed a charter with nine others to speed up conversion
with initial biofuel research focused on jatropha curcas and seaweed .
