ABSTRACT:

On the surface, farmers and airline managers do not have much in common. Farmers grow crops, and airline managers oversee the operation of an airline. However, when it comes to producing and using alternative jet fuels from crops or plants (socalled biojet fuels), their roles become intertwined. There is a long chain of processes involved in producing biojet fuels from raw materials and delivering them to an aircraft tank-referred to as the life cycle stages of biojet fuel-of which farmers and airline managers are two important actors.
