摘要

One sector of aviation for which the dramatic drop in oil prices is not opportune is the biofuel industry, as it tries to move from research and development into commercialization and volume delivery of alternative jet fuels. Airlines have begun the transition from demonstration flights to revenue services using biofuel blends but made clear they are not prepared to pay a significant premium for synthetic jet fuel, whatever its environmental benefits. When oil was above $100 a barrel, that looked like an achievable goal: With oil at $50 per barrel, today's biofuels cannot hope to compete on price. But the airlines that are beginning to buy biofuels have committed to long-term offtake agreements, from three years for United Airlines' deal with Altair Fuels to 10 years for British Airways' waste-to-biofuel joint venture with Solena Fuels. This commitment-plus suspicion that oil prices will rise again and the small quantities of biofuels involved at this early stage-is giving the biofuel industry a buffer, for now.
