Assessment of Alternative Fuels for Commercial Aviation
| 项目名称： | Assessment of Alternative Fuels for Commercial Aviation |
| 摘要： | Project 17 examined whether there are alternative fuels for commercial aviation that could reduce the environmental impact of aviation while reducing price and price volatility of jet fuel. Alternative fuel options were compared to the current standard, Jet A derived from conventional petroleum. Options examined include an ultra low sulfur jet fuel from conventional petroleum, conventional jet fuel derived from both oil sands and oil shale, synthetic paraffinic kerosene, biodiesel, biokerosene, and alcohols. SPK fuel options include those derived from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of natural gas, coal, and biomass as well as hydroprocessed renewable jet fuels from palm and soybeans. |
