I am personally a little skeptical about plant-based biofuels potential as an energy option. Right now, I haven't seen any company develop a promising plan for biofuel generation and use. Several airlines, however, have been testing biofuels derived from a variety of plants, including one airline that has flown on a mixture of biofuel and standard jet fuel. I have linked to the decent article from YAHOO Green News below.
