Combustibili vegetali che possono  alimentare un jet

A new approach to biofuel uses saltwater, weeds, algae, and hardy halophyte plants instead of precious farmland and fresh water. At NASA's GreenLab, researchers have engineered a self-sustaining ecosystem that grows fuel crops in tanks mimicking environments from deserts to coasts. Fish waste becomes fertilizer, and beach sand stands in for soil, proving green energy can thrive in unexpected places. Their success points to a future where clean fuel, food, and even plastics can be created without straining Earth's most limited resources.
