From "Ridelust.com":
The obvious and most glaring benefit of Solazyme’s process is that their algae biodiesel can be used in ordinary diesel engines without modification. Due to its cold weather performance no heaters are required to keep the fuel in its liquid state or to maintain its consistency. Solazyme’s biodiesel also meets the requirements and standards of both US and European grade diesel.
As we have stated in prior articles here, the renewable properties, speed of production, and the fact that algae derived biodiesel production has no effect on our food supplies makes this product the best and quickest solution to our quest for an alternative fuel. Adding that it performs to spec in ordinary diesels and is grown and manufactured right here in the US does not hurt its case either.

General Atomics to Develop Algae-Derived Jet Fuel Under Darpa Contract
San Diego, Calif. 19 January 2009. San Diego-based General Atomics (GA) was awarded a contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop scalable processes for the cost-effective large-scale production of algae triglyceride oil and an algae-derived JP-8 jet fuel surrogate. The contract has a total value of up to $43M if all phases of the development program are completed.
