- Nuts-Algae Mix Is New Jet Fuel
The future of flight could be nourished easily on a diet of smashed nuts and refined algae if start-up ventures using bio-fuels prove their worth in the coming decade. During a two-hour test flight last week, Continental Airlines became the first American carrier to prove that takeoff could be achieved by mixing traditional jet fuel with fuel from algae and jatropha nuts. A number of foreign airlines already have tested similar mixes in their jets.

- Arizona Researchers Hail Algae As Fuel of the Future
From the peak of Mount Everest to 600 feet below the polar ice caps, algae can be found everywhere. The plant-like organisms come in many sizes, from microscopic and single-celled all the way up to complex, such as seaweed. And research is being conducted now that may allow these diverse organisms to be used for something even more complex - a major, clean power source for the industrialized world.

- Ud Researchers Test Algae's Potential As Alternative Fuel
DAYTON -- Algae could become more than just an unsightly presence on the surfaces of ponds and streams. The tiny plant organisms have the potential to help reduce air and water pollution and serve as an alternative source of fuel. The University of Dayton Research Institute is testing various strains of algae to find out which ones will work best for atmospheric cleanup and biofuel uses. The researchers also are trying to find the best growing conditions and the most effective ways of "milking" the algae for oil they produce, preferably without killing the organisms in the process.
