Abstract

The aviation industry is seeking economical and technically viable approaches to providing sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based jet fuel. For example, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Destination 2025 (FAA 2025) has a goal to develop cleaner jet fuels, explore new ways to meet environmental and energy goals, and foster development towards one billion gallons of renewable jet fuel for aviation use by 2018. Alternative jet fuels via Fischer–Tropsch (F–T) and hydrotreated vegetable oils (HEFA) have already been approved for use in jet fuel blends of up to 50%. Other conversion processes, such as alcohol to jet (ATJ), are in various stages of development.
