O le biofuel, lea o loʻo faʻaaoga nei e United e fesoasoani malosiaga i soʻo se faigamalaga e tuʻu ese atu ai le nofoaga o Los Angeles hub, e mauaina le sili atu i le 60% faʻaititia o kasa oona e faʻatumuina i luga o le lifecycle.

Ole suauʻu ole lalolagi ole malosiaga a le Lalolagi e faia mai faʻataʻatiaga faʻatoʻaga ma ua mauaina tusi pasi tumau mai le Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterial.

Talu ai nei na faasilasila mai ai e le Lalolagi Malosi o le a ia teu faafaigaluega $ 350 miliona e atoa suia lona Paramount, Kalefonia,
nofoaga e faʻafou ai diesel ma gafataulimaina vaʻalele vaalele afi, aumaia lona aofaʻiga gafatia i le sili atu 300 miliona kalone o gaosiga i tausaga taʻitasi i lena nofoaga, o se tasi a le kamupani ono maualalo-carbon suauʻu gaosi afi.
"O le teu faafaigaluega i meaola gafataulimaina o paie vaalele o se tasi lea o auala sili ona aoga e mafai ai e se kamupani vaʻalele ona faia e faʻaititia ai lona aʻafiaga i le siosiomaga," o le tala lea a Scott Kirby, United's president.
