I’ve checked it out.. of course, it was Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines who promised to spend billions on a new GREEN air fuel,
After years of greenwash posing and ballyhoo he plans to use some ethanol, which hardly reduces emissions and removes plants which could be used for food.
But wait a minute.. CO2 free fuel has always existed!! (see previous post) here
Are all these people totally sold out or totally STUPID?
Anhydrous Ammonia is cheaper to produce than jet fuel, easy to make from solar powered systems, produces ZERO ZERO ZERO CO2, and has been extensively tested back in the 60s by NASA, with the X15 plane that reached a record 4520 mph!.( okay they mixed some oxygen fuel) http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/news/FactSheets/FS-052-DFRC.html
ZERO EMISSIONS GREEN JET FUEL ALREADY EXISTS. only that converting the planes might cut into gluttonous profits.
Running your car on Green Gas (nh3) may be a little slower… running it on petroleum will ultimately destroy life conditions on the planet!
Heres the plane..

How interesting – From Wikipedia:
“Ammonia was used during World War II to power buses in Belgium, and in engine and solar energy applications prior to 1900. Liquid ammonia was used as the fuel of the rocket airplane, the X-15. Although not as powerful as other fuels, it left no soot in the reusable rocket engine and its density approximately matches the density of the oxidizer, liquid oxygen, which simplified the aircraft’s design.
Ammonia has been proposed as a practical alternative to fossil fuel for internal combustion engines.[39] The calorific value of ammonia is 22.5 MJ/kg (9690 BTU/lb) which is about half that of diesel. In a normal engine, in which the water vapour is not condensed, the calorific value of ammonia will be about 21% less than this figure. It can be used in existing engines with only minor modifications to carburettors/injectors.
To meet these demands, significant capital would be required to increase present production levels. Although the second most produced chemical, the scale of ammonia production is a small fraction of world petroleum usage. It could be manufactured from renewable energy sources, as well as coal or nuclear power. It is however significantly less efficient than batteries.[citation needed] The 60 MW Rjukan dam in Telemark, Norway produced ammonia via electrolysis of water for many years from 1913 producing fertilizer for much of Europe. If produced from coal, the CO2 can be readily sequestered [39][40] (the combustion products are nitrogen and water). In 1981 a Canadian company converted a 1981 Chevrolet Impala to operate using ammonia as fuel.[41][42]
