| 摘要： | The burning and production of jet fuel in both commercial and regional planes at a high volume releases extreme levels of carbon emission as of its current state 1. This paper analyzes the implementation and benefits of three sustainable alternatives to traditional jet fuel: sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), hydrogen fuel cells, and electric batteries. A roadmap to show progress in reducing the carbon footprint of aviation is then proposed. The first phase of the roadmap involves the evolution of technology, validation, and testing of SAF-powered planes and the preliminary development of hydrogen production and propulsion and battery technology and the development of electric propulsion technologies. The second phase illustrates the widespread implementation of all three fuel sources where electric aviation will be enforced in short-range travel (30 min-3 hrs), medium-range aircraft (3-6 hrs) will use hydrogen fuel cells, and long-range (6+ hrs) airliners will utilize SAF. The third and final phase will enact the use of SAF and electric batteries for long-range applications while hydrogen fuel cells will dominate short- and medium-range aircraft. This roadmap, in combination with proper legislative action and corporate cooperation paired with public awareness, can help eliminate the usage of jet fuel in the aviation industry and replace it with three more sustainable and clean fuel sources. |
