NEW ZEALAND - Three airlines are joining the newly-formed Algal Biomass Organisation (ABO), a non-profit organisation which aims to promote the development of commercially viable transportation and power-generation fuels, as well as other non-energy applications, from algae biomass.Air New Zealand, Continental Airlines and Virgin Atlantic, together with biofuel technology developer UOP LLC, a Honeywell company, are the first wave of aviation-related members to join the ABO. The organisation is co-chaired by aircraft maker Boeing Co.
