Algae Aviation Fuel Receives Technology Grant From USTAR

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 10, 2010 -
Utah Science Technology and Research Initiative (USTAR) and it’s Governing Authority Awarded a Technology Commercialization Grant (TCG) to CCA for Dry Process Bio Jet Fuel from Algae Projet.
“We are a small company that has developed jet aviation fuel from algae.  We have already made a fuel that is suitable for ground applications; gas turbine power generators, auxillary power Units and similar power applications.” Said Robert Fulton company founder.  The Great State of Utah has provided them $39,000.00 to pursue further refinement & development of the aviation fuel he has created.  Most of the money is going to Southern Utah University and fuel system delivery equipment.  This project could yield hundreds of jobs, a lessening of dependence on foreign oil, and improvement in emissions (over burning kerosene based fuel.) you can see the video which the stills were taken from at www.algaeaviationfuel.com

“Persistence and the willingness to work hard has brought us forward and we look forward to the positive contribution our fuel will bring to the aviation industry and to our lessening dependence on foreign oil. My story is not important, getting things done is.” Says Fulton.

Much more on this venture is available.  Professor's names, background, how the fuel was initially developed, and other details at their site www.algaeaviationfuel.com.
