Algae Aviation Fuel Receives Technology Grant From USTAR
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.
Viable Jet Fuel Surrogate Out of Raw Algae Bio-mass
Algae Aviation Fuel from Compact Contractors for America LLC (CCA) has developed a methodology for
creating a viable jet fuel surrogate out of raw algae bio-mass.
“DPA Aviation Fuel is competitive in pricing, environmentally friendly &
domestically produced.” Robert Fulton Chief Engineer stated “Dry Process
Jet Fuel from Algae will change the aviation fuel marketplace.”
Their target markets are:
- Northrop/Grumman Global Hawk Block 20 programs
- Boeing Phantom X-45 programs
- DOD Allied Operations Drone programs
- Commercial Aviation Industry
- Ground based turbine applications such as tanks and generators
CCA has contacted their targeted markets, stating all are interested in
an effective, low cost, and ecologically sound replacements for petro-chemical jet fuels.

Bio-fuel producers can now produce algae biojet fuel using algae biomass
(cake) not the oil. Large aircraft fleet managers can now have a never-failing
renewable energy resource to make algae jet fuel that does not
compete with our nation’s food crops. Unlike liquid bio jet fuels that
require extensive and expensive processing, DPA jet fuel is much cheaper
to make. The process is simply drying & grinding to make the powdered
fuel. DPA jet fuel can use any algae with 15% lipid content (vegetable
oil) & raw algae can be harvested from a variety of wild sources here in
America. Liquid bio jet fuel requires high lipid content algae, which
requires a very controlled environment to produce.
LIGHTER
Liquid jet fuel weighs about 6.8 pounds per gallon. DPA jet fuel weighs
48% less than liquid without any additives. The weight per gallon will
vary with the strain of algae used.
MADE in USA
Since algae grows anywhere and everywhere, CCA can produce jet fuel right
here, in the United States.
Dry Process Algae is the fastest & most cost-effective means of making
algae jet fuel for the aviation industry. Not only is dry process algae
jet fuel less expensive, it also burns cleaner and is better for the
environment. The ability to create dry process algae jet fuel will create
jobs and reduce dependence on foreign oil.
“We urge the U.S. government and the investment community to support this
critical energy opportunity,” said Fulton.
