Abstract: “Fuel is one of the research areas of major focus in recent days. This review paper is based on the principle that it may be possible to grow our way out of an energy crisis with renewable, recyclable plant - based fuels. In turbine aircraft , combust ion process acts on fan blades that either turn s a propeller or cr eate thrust by accelerating gas. The fuel used is jet fuel (jet - A, jet - 1A, jet - B). Biofuels have to replicate the characteristics of jet fuels in order to place a claim as future aviation fu el. The biggest challenge is to find out a renewable fuel which fits the bill. One such biofuel in the race is the 3 rd generation ‘algae’. There are few technical and legal issues in using algae for production of biofuel and they are: Technical issues: Die sel fuel stability (extremely high flash point and low volatility), Fuel freezing point temperature, Lack of lubricity, Low energy density. Legal issues: Renewable fuel standard, Clean air act, Toxic substance control act, Cle”

Keywords: Biofuel, halophytic algae, MATLAB, carbon dioxide emission
