Solazyme to Supply 20,000 G Algae Diesel for Navy Ships
You are at: Oilgae Blog.
Solazyme Inc. said that it had a contract from the Defense Department for 20,000 gallons of algae-derived diesel fuel for testing and certification that could be used in Navy ships
“The military wants new fuels that meet the old petroleum specifications and reduce carbon dramatically and can be produced domestically at the same time,” said Jonathan Wolfson, CEO of Solazyme Inc.
“This is an important first step with algae oil derived alternative fuels,” said Kim Huntley, director of the Defense Energy Support Center, which awarded the Solazyme contract. “Not only are we helping the Navy meet its energy security and alternative fuels objectives, this contract also demonstrates the continued successful partnering of DESC with our warfighter customers to help them meet their emergent energy needs.”
