Comments on: Study Shows Camelina-Derived Renewable Jet Fuel Reduces Carbon Emissions 84% http://gas2.org/2009/05/05/data-shows-camelina-derived-biojet-fuel-reduces-carbon-emissions-84/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

Sourcing carbon for fuel from atmospheric sources is usually ignored by both sides; environmentalists will complain about burning wood, even though it is a carbon neutral (need carbon to make wood) and fairly natural process anyway and companies are more concerned with cleaner burning than cleaner sources. And it looks like this source doesn't use the corn/grain method that apparently plagues the food economy. All in all, win/win. I've always been concerned that we didn't evolve in an atmosphere that contained the dino-carbons and that the burning of the oil might have an effect on that front, so this is definitely a good thing.

Least expensive, this is a real promise for aviation industry to take note of as this industry alone creates havoc in carbon emissions. Really wonderful Camelina-derived get fuel.

What i guess is meant by this is that if you grow the Camelina in the first place then you had to necessarily pull that much C out of the air for the plant to fix it into oil. If you keep doing this then it is called sustainable, and does "reduce" net carbon emissions. ChuckL said-

Good point ChuckL.
