Japanese Firm to Produce Jet Fuel from Algae
Japanese firm Euglena is planning to partner with Japanese airline ANA to jet fuel from algae. The company has plans to produce 33,000 gallons of jet fuel a year from Japan’s first algae biofuel refinery.
It is to be noted that the company has already been cultivating a type of algae for use in food and cosmetics.
The company is now building a test facility in Yokohama near one of Tokyo’s two main airports. The plant is expected to pump out five barrels of green crude per day.
