Winglets like the one shown here, increases aircraft fuel efficiency by 3 to 5 percent. That translates into approximately 100,000 fewer gallons of fuel consumed per aircraft each year.

Some examples of fuel sources for second-generation biofuels are algae, camelina, woody biomass, halophytes, jatropha, and switchgrass. The first three feedstocks are likely candidates for aviation fuels produced in the Northwest.

Camelina, a member of the mustard family, is a viable candidate for producing oil for biofuels, requiring minimal inputs of water and fertilizer compared to a number of other oilseed feedstocks.
