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.
