Cleaner, greener fuels are no longer a fantasy. Jonathan Wolfson's Solazyme is arguably the leader in turning algae to diesel on an industrial scale, even though it lost $85 million on sales of $44 million last year. It has fueled jets and Navy destroyers and is now being tested in cars. Solazyme has also discovered other novel uses for algae. "Not only can we make renewable oils, but all of these oils—from a palm kernel replacement to a heart-healthy food oil—can be produced out of one single fermentation plant in a matter of days," says Wolfson, 42. Unilever is already in. So is agri-giant Bunge.
