Abstract
The burning of fossil jet fuel in the aviation industry inadvertently contributes to the emissions of greenhouse gas. One of the mitigation strategies proposed by International Civil Aviation Organization is to use low carbon or carbon-neutral alternative jet fuel to partially substitute conventional jet fuel. To ensure the compatibility of the new fuel in existing jet engine, candidate alternative jet fuels need to be tested and certified to ensure the physicochemical properties and combustion performances match those of conventional jet fuel. This chapter covers the properties specification of the approved biojet fuels for use in aviation turbine engines and compared with those of regular jet fuel. The use of permitted fuel additives in aviation turbine fuel for performance enhancement is also discussed. The test protocols used to assess the alternative jet fuel and method to determine the fuel readiness level are explained. Understanding the requirement of jet fuel and the certification process is important to promote the development and deployment of low carbon alternative jet fuel technology.
