Matthew Wald reviews jet fuels‚ both alternative fuel based as well as petroleum based and the advantages and disadvantages of each. He established where he believes the issues lie and that is within the costs and land accessibility. The fruit jatropha is being used as biofuel to reduce petroleum usage. The plant proves to be quite efficient by reducing CO₂ emissions by as much as 60% but costs upwards of 2.5 times more than petroleum. Wald explains how the Department of Agriculture hopes to budget around

lubricants are as follows: • Excellent lubricity: The lubricity of the biobased lubricants is about 2 to 4 times their petroleum based corresponding lubricants. This reflects in the reduced mechanical losses and energy saving in the range from 5% to 15% of the equipment operation. • Higher viscosity index: The viscosity does not vary with temperature as much as the petroleum based lubricants. This makes bio-lubricants suitable for high temperature applications‚ typically 250°C or above. • Lower
