Researcher: Military Qualifications Key To Alternative Fuel Race.

Flight International (9/14, Decker) published an interview with Ted Aulich, senior researcher at the Energy & Environment Research Center of North Dakota University. Flight International describes Aulich as being "on the frontlines in the search for alternatives to Avgas and petroleum." When asked about which alternative fuel he sees winning the "alternative race," Aulich replied, "My guess is the first entity to come forward with a fuel that meets military qualification criteria and is close to economically competitive with petroleum jet fuel is probably going to gain some early market advantages, because there's a lot of interest on the part of the military to get access to a renewable fuel."
