They say the cost is about $6 per gallon. That number is in the economic range.

If it was $25 per gallon I would say nice try, keep trying. But $6 gives a green light especially when they say they are working to improve the yield gained from the process. If there is success with increasing yields, then costs can enter the competitive market range.

Sounds much more promising than some of the “green fuels” the Air Force was working on a couple of years ago. I remember reading some of the press releases about the renewable jet fuel being used in various aircraft, then someone did a little digging and discovered the “green” version of JP8 goes for $60 dollars a gallon.

In case you’re wondering, the regular stuff, refined from good ol’ crude oil, is available for under $4 a gallon.
