That is very interesting, I had a company approach me a few years ago with the biomass energy/fuel type process and production, it was a bit out of my specialty range, but the basics of the process is using animal cow horse waste and mixing it with living or recently living organisms, dead trees,grass,plants, soil, etc, and reacting them by fermentation with certain enzymes thus producing a high energy yielding feedstock to produce fuel, I really started to doubt them when they started speaking of the enzyme catalyst, (of course I wasnt dealing with rentech, it was a smaller no name group, but it look like they were right. Very cool. especially to think they have an ASTM spec product that the FAA has approved. Biodiesel has met ASTM specifications for years, but they are still very hesitant to use it in jet fuel applications. This is interesting
They used fermentation to process fuels where as our company did a transesterification process.

Here is laymens guide to biomass,, ok, here goes,, bend over and light one of your farts, there you go,, you got the bio part, add some fart juice and a hairy nut sac,, and when it lights upp Vavoomm biomass. now your a chemical engineer, not to mention small scale biofuel producer that can keep things warm for a second or two in the winter,, but lets see you refuel even a single engine piper plane on your newly aquired biofuel.
Build model airplanes says the ferrie,, well Im not buying it,, next thing you know theres money missing off your dresser, and your daughters knocked up. p:
