I've spoken with these folks and even signed a non-disclosure.
 
It works, and they are building their first pilot plant to create about 1000 gallons per day.
 
It requires Ethanol, which is converted in the process to an AvGas equivalent with zero lead / zero sulphur.
 
It will be a few years before enough is produced to significantly impact the market.
 
Interestingly, there are at least 3 other firms I know of who have gene-spliced bacteria which eat garbage and poop petroleum.  Again, they are only in low-rate production.
 
 
All convert some form of vegetable matter to petroleum-analogs.
 
It isn't magic, but required that fuel prices be high enough to make worthwhile.
 
Cheers,
 
Bill

There seems to be a company that claims a 100LL drop in replacement.  

 

They have to be full of crap.  If there was such a product, and it was true, why would’t they be billionairs by now?
