I think it is a hard time for the industry right now. The movement to go green started when the business was doing better. Now, most airlines are not willing to pay more to be green. Instead looking to have people bring on less weight (ie: http://www.airlinereporter.com/?p=1797) which uses less fuel (and also less money).

Also, I think there is a movement going on more than just the aircraft. Airlines are also looking at using bio fuels for the ground equipment, which does cut down on a lot of carbon dioxide.

Plus, even without looking at the environment, bio fuels can help countries create self-supporting fuel economies, instead of being at the mercy of oil-rich countries.
