Beginning in 2016, Southwest Airlines Will Use Biofuels
(Dallas Morning News) Southwest Airlines announced Wednesday that it plans to buy some biofuels made from waste wood for use in its San Francisco Bay airports beginning in two years.

It has agreed to buy about 3 million gallons a year from Red Rocks Biofuels, a Fort Collins, Colo., company that focuses on recycling that foresty stuff. READ MORE and MORE (PR Newswire) and MORE (Denver Business Journal)
