N.C. State Prof Makes Biofuel for Jets

It's still in its early stages, but Professor Bill Roberts of North Carolina State University has created a jet fuel from animal fat. Tests will begin in a test jet engine in about eight months. The university and professor are already negotiating licencing rights with Diversified Energy, a company that deals with alternative and renewable fuels. A successful test will surely bring in more outside investment and potentially reap a great deal of reward for N.C. State University and Professor Roberts.
