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 Jet Fuel

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.
