Nov 23, 2009 (AIRLINE INDUSTRY INFORMATION via COMTEX) --
KLM | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- UOP LLC, a provider of process technology, catalysts, adsorbents,
process plants and consulting services to the petroleum refining,
petrochemical and gas processing industries and a Honeywell (NYSE: HON | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating)
company, reported today that its renewable jet fuel process technology
has been used by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to convert second-generation,
renewable feedstocks to green jet fuel for a biofuel demonstration
flight.

The company's process technology was used by KLM to convert oil from
camelina, an inedible plant, to green jet fuel for the test flight.

One engine of a Boeing 747 aircraft was powered by a fuel mixture
consisting of a 50/50 mix of green jet fuel and traditional
petroluem-derived jet fuel.

The flight will take place today at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport and
will be the first green jet fuel demonstration flight in Europe and the
first to carry a group of observers.
