Abstract
Biojet fuel is a low carbon alternative to fossil jet fuel. There is limited literature on life cycle environmental performance of biojet fuel from 2nd generation biomass feedstocks. This work (i) assesses biojet fuel potential from rice, wheat, jute and potato residues in Bangladesh, and (ii) conducts farm to factory gate attributional Life Cycle Assessment of biojet fuel. Different scenarios suggest Bangladesh can produce 1074 to 2548 million liters of biojet fuel annually, with 1810 million liters per annum being the most optimistic potential. This is 4.5 times higher than the current jet fuel demand of the country. Carbon, energy, and landuse footprints of biojet fuel are lower than fossil jet fuel, however, water footprint is higher. Energy Return on Investment (EROI) of biojet fuel ranges from 1.60 to 1.78. The results will contribute to UN SDGs 7 & 13 and biojet fuel development in Bangladesh.
