This is interesting, a bio ""drop-in fuel", which meant that no modification to the aircraft or its engines was required before it could be used".
Unlike other aviation bio fuels in the pipeline, this one "could" keep the cost down and the hassle of system conversion and associated down times. Just a question as usual of mass production.

If they're willing to pay, they can scrape our pond. Over the holiday season enough algae grew on that thing to probably get a business jet a few hundred miles.

Funny how they get to those ideas though. Lets put some green mess in a blender and extract the fuel-ish materials and fly a plane on it.
