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
