Using fat to make biofuel

The engineers from North Caroline State University have developed a new biofuel technology to turn any fat source into fuel that can be used for powering jet airplanes.
Any form of oil can be used for the production of fuel like vegetable oils, animal fat and even from algae.
The technology used here in the creation of the fuel is called Centia which means "green power" in Latin. NC State has received provisional patents for the process of converting fats into jet fuels and for additives in cold weather biodiesel fuels.
Researchers of the process claim that besides being "100 percent green" this technology has its advantages over other biofuel projects as any lipid based feedstock or raw material with a fat source can be used for converting into fuel...
