Aviation Fuel Could be Produced from Algae

Posted on timeSeptember 4th, 2008 by useradmin


The newest boon in clean energy seems to be algae. The first indication seemed to be the experimental carbon sequestering project carried forth by MIT researcher, Isaac Berzin

Now, a 3 million grant could help spur a boom in the the study of algae as a potential source for - yes, you heard it - jet fuel.

In fact, according to the researchers from Arizona State University, who are undertaking the pilot project, this new kersone-type algae fuel can be produced at a lower cost than its traditional oil-based kerosene counterpart.
