Elsevier Science & Technology Biofuels For Aviation: Feedstocks Technology And Implementation by Christopher Chuck
Biofuels For Aviation: Feedstocks Technology And Implementation Presents The Issues Surrounding The Research And Use Of Biofuels For Aviation Such As Policy Markets Certification And Performance Requirements Life Cycle Assessment And The Economic And Technical Barriers To Their Full Implementation. Readers Involved In Bioenergy And Aviation Sectors-Research Planning Or Policy Making Activities-Will Benefit From This Thorough Overview.The Aviation IndustryS Commitment To Reducing Ghg Emissions Along With Increasing Oil Prices Have Sparked The Need For Renewable And Affordable Energy Sources Tailored To This SectorS Very Specific Needs. As Jet Engines Cannot Be Readily Electrified Turning To Biofuels Is The Most Viable Option. However Aviation Is A Type Of Transportation For Which Traditional Biofuels Such As Bioethanol And Biodiesel Do Not Fulfill Key Fuel Requirements. Therefore Different Solutions To This Situation Are Being Researched And Tested Around The Globe Which Makes Navigating This Scenario Particularly Challenging.This Book Guides Readers Through This Intricate Subject Bringing Them Up To Speed With Its Current Status And Future Prospects Both From The Academic And The Industry Point Of View. Science And Technology Chapters Delve Into The Technical Aspects Of The Currently Tested And The Most Promising Technology In Development As Well As Their Respective Feedstocks And The Use Of Additives As A Way Of Adapting Them To Meet Certain Specifications. Conversion Processes Such As Hydrotreatment Synthetic Biology Pyrolysis Hydrothermal Liquefaction And Fisher-Tropsch Are Explored And Their Results Are Assessed For Current And Future Viability.
