Posted on Saturday, November 1, 2008 posted by posted by visa @ 5:56 AM

Energy & Environmental Research Center of North Dakota says it has produced a sample of a 100 percent renewable jet fuel. The research was funded by U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to meet its requirement for JP-8 jet fuel. The researchers added that they can also make it for Jet A, commercial aviation equipment. They also added that algal-oil-to-fuel projects research is also being conducted.

  In the beginning, there were algae,
but there was no oil Then, from algae came oil.
Now, the algae are still there, but oil is fast depleting
In future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae  
So, doesn't it make sense to explore if we can again get oil from algae?
This is what we try to do at Oilgae.com - explore the potential of getting oil from algae
