Under Industry Commitments and Collaborations The Federal Aviation Administration supports the CLEEN (Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions, and Noise) program. In 2010 it awarded $125 million in contracts in part to reduce commercial jet fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise. The largest contracts were awarded to GE Aviation for $66 million and Honeywell Aerospace for $27 million. The Algal Biomass Organization (AGO) promotes commercial development of algae biofuels.

Under Bio-SPK Bio-SPK is extracted from plant sources like jatropha, algae, tallows, other waste oils, babassu and camelina. Bio-SPK stands for bio derived synthetic paraffinic kerosene and is produced through hydocracking and hydro-processing. Bio-SPK is also known as hydrotreated renewable jet fuel (HRJ) and was approved for use in 50/50 blends by ASTM International in July 2011. Among the demand drivers for bio-SPK are carbon credits for airlines operating into, out of, or within Europe.

Future Production Routes The Federal Aviation Administration funded a $1.1 million project with Honeywell through the US Department of Transportation’s Volpe Center to develop and demonstrate renewable jet fuel made from alcohols found in natural feedstocks.

COI Edit Requests
I have a financial COI with Honeywell in that they’ve recruited me to help them navigate through Wikipedia and COI Best Practices. I have the following edit requests and would like to request help from more impartial editors:

Concerns and Challenges
I would like to correct the Concerns and Challenges section. The problem it discusses is actually the opposite (low temperatures, not high). The revised is as follows:
 * Biodiesel that is stored for long periods of time is more likely to oxidize, especially at low temperatures, causing it to gel. Some additives improve the cold weather tolerance of biodiesel, but only by a few degrees. Because biofuels don’t have paraffins found in petroleum-based fuel, prolonged use can cause damage to natural rubber materials found in seals and hoses.

Industry Commitments and Collaborations
In many cases substantial public funds have been awarded to Honeywell for development purposes and we would like to inform Wikipedia's readers. Here is some possible content for this section:
 * The Federal Aviation Administration supports the CLEEN (Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions, and Noise) program. In 2010 it awarded $125 million in contracts in part to reduce commercial jet fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise. The largest contracts were awarded to GE Aviation for $66 million and Honeywell Aerospace for $27 million. The Algal Biomass Organization (AGO) promotes commercial development of algae biofuels.

Bio-SPK
I would like to improve the first paragraph of the Bio-SPK section as follows:
 * Bio-SPK is extracted from plant sources like jatropha, algae, tallows, other waste oils, babassu and camelina. Bio-SPK stands for bio derived synthetic paraffinic kerosene and is produced through hydocracking and hydro-processing. Bio-SPK is also known as hydrotreated renewable jet fuel (HRJ) and was approved for use in 50/50 blends by ASTM International in July 2011. Among the demand drivers for bio-SPK are carbon credits for airlines operating into, out of, or within Europe.

Demonstration Flights
I would like to contribute to the list of demonstration fights The Continental airlines row is already in the current article. I am just making some improvements.

Future Production Routes
I would like to add:
 * The Federal Aviation Administration funded a $1.1 million project with Honeywell through the US Department of Transportation’s Volpe Center to develop and demonstrate renewable jet fuel made from alcohols found in natural feedstocks.

Misc
Would it be worth adding somewhere?
 * Twenty-four commercial and military biofuel test flights have taken place using Honeywell UOP’s “green jet fuel.”
