California-based OriginOil is taking part in a pilot project funded by the Mexican Government as part of the country's plan to produce 1% of its jet fuel from algae in less than five years.
Check out this video, in which OriginOil chief executive Riggs Eckelberry talks about the project, or take a look at the company's press release.
I'm working on a feature about algae and its potential for replacing kerosene to power commercial aircraft. I came across the OriginOil project while conducting my research - more details to follow if I can get an interview with the company.
