Abstract
AbstractThe research and demonstration project, DEMO‐SPK, a model project under the German Mobility and Fuel Strategy (MFS), investigated the use of renewable kerosene at the Leipzig/Halle airport. Its primary goal was to examine and verify the behavior of blends consisting of several types of renewable kerosene and fossil JET A‐1, under the realistic supply conditions of a major airport. The project demonstrated that the supply chain for multiblend JET A‐1 was technically feasible and that the fuel could be used without requiring any changes in the normal operating procedures. The project also confirmed that the use of multiblend JET A‐1 resulted in a 30–60% reduction in particulate emissions for ground operations and a reduction in CO2 equivalents, compared with pure fossil JET A‐1.
Highlights
The aviation sector is facing particular challenges surrounding climate protection targets in light of the Paris Climate Agreement
The first step was to design and produce four different multiblends that contained the maximum amount of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and which continued to meet all requirements stipulated by ASTM D7566
The analysis confirmed that ASTM D7566compliant fuels had been obtained
Summary
Against this backdrop, sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) as substitutes for fossil-based aviation fuel play a key role in the aviation sector. I.e. targets of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and proposals on blending mandates in some countries, increase the demand for such renewable SAF in the short to medium term. (aireg), the IATA and Germany’s Climate Action Plan 2050, as well as the required energy-related amounts of renewable SAF and their specific greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation potentials. There is a massive demand for SAF with a high GHG mitigation potential compared to fossil jet fuel [1]
