Fuel made from grass may power jets in future
In the quest for sustainable energy sources, scientists have developed “grassoline“ -a biofuel derived from grass that may one day power aircraft. (energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com) さらに...

And I thought the headline referred to marijuana, which would help aircraft get high.
Interesting. Instead of parking my Cessna on the ramp, I can turn it out to graze with the cattle.
Hope nobody does any plane tipping!
Or tries to milk it!
In the future give it a grass shake that ill make er fly
The world is awash in oil and we pay people to research this garbage...remember the Peak Oil scare of about a decade ago. What a joke! Peak oil is reached every few decades, then technology paves the way for new ways of extraction. While I'm at it,CO2 has a higher molecular mass than air in the troposphere, so how does it magically make its way into the atmosphere to trap heat? More...water vapor has many times the heat capacity of CO2 and it makes up an enormous part of our atmosphere whereas CO2 is .033 percent or some such number. When does Al Gore declare water a pollutant? Sorry Al and the legions of corrupt, cough, scientists, you picked the wrong Canard!
Biomas to diesel already exists in the Fischer-Tropsch process. A high quality diesel results. http://fischer-tropsch.org
IIf this "grass to gas" process is simpler or more efficient then it would be of interest. But even the well-established FT process can't compete with diesel from crude oil. Also, Jets run on kerosene type fuel, not gasoline. And the fuel described is a conversion of grass to gasoline
