“other conventional fuels” are buried beneath the surface therefore the carbon stored is not released if not used. The CO2 argument is to avoid releasing these locked up carbon emmissions.

Besides this, I really like the idea that fuels will be harvested in a clean way.

you would be right if you replied that not all biodiesel is the same and can work in all situations and so they may have had to actually develop a biodiesel that can conform to jet fuel specifications. however many of the variations which exist between biodiesels of different feedstocks are generally corrected with additives so you don’t really have to do much beyond figuring out what the right mix is.

which isn’t to say this isn’t cool – it is. but it’s not much of a breakthrough. i suspect that their eagerness to frame it this way is a PR move to make it sound like they’ve done some complicated stuff to make a wholly different, specialized product so that aviation operators will trust that it works. if you just told them that the same stuff that works in bulldozers works in a fighter jet, they’d probably just say thanks but no thanks. so instead, they “develop” aviation fuel.

and, finally, the word “algae” is a noun. the adjective is algal. as in algal biodiesel or algal aviation fuel.
