Energy can be enhanced by biofuels, according to researchers at UC Berkely. This finding may one day change the aviation and industrial landscape, as biofuels expand their usefulness and are utilized in jet planes and industrial vehicles. Biofuels are a type of fuel whose energy is derived from the sugars in plant matter. While a […]

The US Navy, each year, requires more than 600 million gallons of Jet Fuel [JP-5] for continuous operations. To meet the demand, fifteen US Navy Military Sea Lift Command fleet replenishment oilers are deployed worldwide to refuel Navy vessels at sea. The entire operation is expensive, dangerous, and often logistically difficult. Scientists at the US […]
