The Virgin tycoon is hoping to surpass Al Gore as the King of Green. According to a report in Sky News, Richard Branson is hoping to run a test flight of a Boeing 747-400 using biofuel by the end of next year, and the first passenger flights could take off within the next two years.
Virgin has teamed up with GE and Boeing on the project, testing a number of feedstocks, including soya, vegetables and newspaper. One of the big challenges, according to a video interview with Branson done by Sky, is finding a fuel that doesn’t freeze at high altitudes.
Branson's also announced that he would be investing all profits from his travel companies into renewable energy, claiming this would amount to $3 billion.
