Minyak JET USD3/Gallon

US sedang mencipta minyak yang murah untuk menerbangkan jet-jet supersonik mereka... Katanya minyak tu dibuat dari ALGA... BACA SINI..

Much of the tremendous fuel the military burns each year is used up by the Air Force and Navy’s thirsty jets. Barbara McQuiston of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) told The Guardian, research projects have already produced fuel from algae at a cost of $2 a gallon. 

She said a large scale production operation would come on line in 2011. The facility would be able to produce 50 million gallons a year, and the costs would be competitive with traditional, petroleum based fuels.

The Pentagon has big plans for biofuels — including a green strike group, with bio-powered F/A-18s flying off of the aircraft carrier’s deck. But right now, there’s no company that can produce the stuff cheaply enough or in great enough quantities. Perhaps this Darpa effort will fix that.

Algae based fuels have been touted as a good alternative to the use of food stock for renewable fuels. Recently the EPA said algae-based fuels also reduce CO2 emissions over the production life cycle of the fuel.
