I stand corrected about the jet-fuel project. It's probably fair to say that much of the impetus for all their fuels comes from supply issues. Some say the Germans invaded Russia in WWII to get oil. Nonetheless Boeing and engine makers are also working the same line, and looking specifically to reduce the extra-potent-GHG released at high altitudes. John you’re welcome.

One correction - the JP-8 project may have started with biofuel in mind but has become a coal-to-liquids programme. As a result, the CO2 released in the manufacture of this fuel more than overwhelms the lower output during ultimate use. This is a fuel supply assurance project like that undertaken by the Nazis in WWII. Nice roundup — and thank you for fixing the RSS feed.
