Swift Enterprises Information Review
Based out of Indiana and founded in 2001, Swift Enterprises started out as a husband and wife team working closely with Purdue University to find new ways to create fuel for cars and airplanes. They now have two products, the Swift Fuel for planes and Swift Cell for cars both of which address different opportunities to improve current alternatives.
Swift Fuel is designed to be used with piston style airplanes instead of current leaded gasoline (which is set to be banned in the US and Europe by 2010). You may recall that cars used to run on leaded gasoline? Planes have been given a break but with time running short Swift Fuel is in a great spot as a biomass alternative with high octane and low impact on the ecosystem.
The Swift Cell is an Ethanol style technology said to be priced near $2,000 (where more conventional cells cost ~$20K) that can extend the range of an electric vehicle to over 100 miles per gallon!

Biomass Airplane Fuel
Swift Enterprises is a company focused on making piston style aircraft perform better... while reducing their environmental impact, in that order. They accomplish this by using biomass instead of traditional dirty fuels with lead additives. Piston style airplanes (anything besides jets basically) require Tetraethyl Lead in their motor fuels in order to reach a high octane. The downside to using lead in gasoline is that it pollutes the environment, and yet until now there have been very few alternatives.Swift Enterprises has developed a process to create synthetic hydrocarbons using biomass which takes the place of refining crude oil.
