Seawater may be a possible alternative to petroleum when fueling battleships

Scientists have claimed that seawater could be used fuel up US Navy’s ships after they vowed to cut their petroleum use in half by 2015, and produce at least half of its jet fuel using alternative sources by 2020. Analytical chemist Heather Willauer is leading a study at the Naval Research Laboratory to develop the necessary technology that sucks up the gases to produce synthetic jet fuel for ships right out of the seawater they tread.
