Lufthansa & SSTP/USSE ???

Is Lufthansa the undisclosed airline? No one said it had to be an American airline. This report has Lufthansa and SSTP mentioned in the same article, both citing 10%. Hmmmm. Is the 10% figure cited by both companies just a coincidence? Or perhaps there is more to this?

Lufthansa may be the airline that leads the way in green travel. The airline has announced that it will start mixing bio-fuel with kerosene to help decrease carbon emissions and increase the alternative fuel usage. According to reports, Lufthansa’s goal is for the bio-fuel mixture will account for 10 percent of its fuel within 12 years. The news comes on the heels of yesterday’s report that Sustainable Power, a bio-fuel company and makers of Vertroleum, has been working with “an undisclosed airline” to test a blend of petroleum-based jet fuel and bio-fuel.


As reported in Aviation Week, the aviation group (which includes Lufthansa, Swiss International Airlines, and MRO Lufthansa Technik) released 15 new environmental guidelines that the group says will increase “progress in environmental efficiency by the year 2020” and work to protect the air quality and climate by way of airlines and air traffic.

Lufthansa’s plan includes more than just reducing the carbon footprint at 30,000 feet. The guidelines also commit to working with other international green-friendly organizations to create solutions for reducing emissions in air traffic and promoting green-friendly flying alternatives.

In the Aviation Week report, Wolfgang Mayrhuber, Lufthansa Chairman and CEO, said: “With the four-pillar strategy agreed with other airlines, we have an effective and comprehensive concept for reducing emissions, whereby standardization of air traffic control through implementation of a Single European Sky remains Europe’s single biggest environment protection project.”
