To anybody who’s seen biodiesel turn into a mayonnaise-like substance in cold weather, the prospect of crossing the Atlantic on a jet propelled by biofuel sounds downright scary. But a consortium made up of Boeing, engine makers and commercial airlines says that veggie fuel is not only good for the airplanes’ carbon footprint – it actually performs as well, if not better, than its petroleum-based equivalent. The issue is a crucial one for the airline industry, which has vowed to achieving carbon-neutral growth by 2020 and whose fortunes are tightly tied to the volatile price of crude oil.

Statement Regarding Congressional Hearing
On Global Food Crisis
May 8, 2008
Contact: Bart Ruth, 25x'25 Legislative Committee Chair, 402-641-6692
The following is a statement from Ernie Shea, project coordinator for 25x'25, on today's hearing - held jointly by the Congressional Children's Caucus, the Congressional Global Health Caucus and the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa and Global Health - on the rapidly increasing price of food in the developing world and its effect on children.
"The National 25x'25 Alliance shares the world's concern about the impact that rising food prices are having on efforts to combat world hunger and improve the health of children, particularly in developing countries. These challenges have acute consequences for millions of people across the globe, with children and the poor disproportionately affected. The 25x'25 Alliance is working to advance solutions that will improve the quality of life for all people through the development of resources that can provide clean renewable energy while continuing to produce ample, safe and affordable supplies of food, feed and fiber.

UN urges biofuel investment halt
A palm oil plantation in Ivory Coast
Palm oil is one of the biofuel crops stirring controversy
The UN's new top adviser on food has urged a freeze on biofuel investment, saying the blind pursuit of the policy is "irresponsible".
Olivier de Schutter also wants curbs on investors whose speculation is, he says, driving food prices higher.
UN officials liken the rise in food prices to a silent tsunami, threatening 100 million of the world's poorest.

“It’s not food, it’s not fuel, it’s China”: Expanded study of impact of China on global corn market
A change in Chinese meat consumption habits since 1995 is diverting eight billion bushels of grain per year to livestock feed and could empty global grain stocks by September 2010, according to a new study from Biofuels Digest, now available for download here in an expanded version.
The Study, “Meat vs Fuel: Grain use in the U.S. and China, 1995-2008” concluded that, even if the U.S. ethanol industry were shut down tomorrow, rising Chinese demand for meat, and the ensuing livestock feed demand, will empty global grain stocks as soon as 2013. The report offers gloomy news for policymakers who have hoped to address global food vs. fuel concerns by restraining U.S. ethanol demand.
