A major breakthrough in sustainable aviation this week: Delta Air Lines sent off its first-ever flight powered by camelina-based sustainable fuel—an innovation made possible by the work of the Forever Green Initiative at the University of Minnesota.
Wednesday afternoon, camelina-based fuel helped power its first flight — a 4 p.m. takeoff for a 7:30 p.m. arrival in New York during the city’s climate week. Delta Air Lines, the flight’s operator, aims to one day make MSP the first airport where all of its flights use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
