Chemistry of Biofuels
(Please allow about 5 minutes for the experience to load.)
Boeing creates products that range from undersea vehicles exploring the depths of the ocean to planes that carry cargo and people around the world. To run these vehicles, they need fuel. Learn about the environmental innovations Boeing is making, such as new biofuels, to help create a more sustainable fuel option. Learn the importance different biomes have on the airline industry. Students will learn the steps on how grass, wood and corn can be used in various biofuels, which one day could support the majority of air travel.
