Aviation is the most polluting form of transportation. It pays the least amount of tax.

But the aviation industry is aware that a legislation against their industry for emitting

CO2 is not far off. The US military and Air force wants to work with NMSU to generate algae based jet fuel.

The European Union is due to extend its Emissions Trading System to include aviation in 2012, but others have resisted such measures. So far.

They are also working with University of Central Florida to find out the impact of algal oil on jet engines.

Shuguang Deng, a chemical engineering professor at NMSU "Algal biofuels look very promising, but there are a lot of technical issues," Deng said. "Algae have the highest energy content of plants. Only algae can meet the demand for a renewable energy source. I expect that in five to 10 years, we'll start seeing algal biofuels on the market."

Natalia's Notes

The US Navy will use only "third generation" biofuels. That means no ethanol made from corn . The Navy is only testing fuels like camelina and algae that do not compete with food, that have a carbon footprint cleaner than fossil fuels and that can be grown cheaper than fossil fuels. - 11 years ago

The head of the 170-member Algal Biomass Organization (ABO), Mary Rosenthal, predicts the algal oil could be cost competitive with oil in 7 years. %u201CWe%u2019re hoping to be to be at parity with petroleum in the year 2017/ 18, - we will be at several billions of gallons,%u201D Rosenthal told. - 11 years ago
Rosenthal, is quick to dismiss any suggestion that the algae to oil technology may not be poised for prime time. The technology is mature, she said. We re going through the issues of any emerging industry. where you %u2018re going from lab to pilot, from pilot to scale. - 11 years ago
The Department of Energy says algae grown on a 15,000-square-mile area, about the size of Maryland, could theoretically meet the nation's oil needs. - 11 years ago
