#From sunlight to jet fuel: EU project makes first'solar'kerosene An EU-funded research project called SOLAR-JET has produced the world's first'solar'jet fuel from water and carbon dioxide (CO2), a promising technology for a better
energy security and turning possibly a greenhouse gas into a useful resource. Researchers have demonstrated for the first time successfully the entire production chain for renewable kerosene,
with a glassful of jet fuel produced in laboratory conditions, using simulated sunlight. However, the results give hope that in future any liquid hydrocarbon fuels could be produced from sunlight
sustainable and scalable supplies of aviation fuel as well as diesel and gasoline, or even plastics. Fischer-Tropsch derived fuels are certified already
and transformed by Applied Research Associates into a complete replacement fuel for conventional jet fuel. Previously, flights on biofuels had been limited to a 50 percent blend with petroleum making this a major breakthrough.
For every $0. 25 rise in the price of jet fuel the Department of defense (Dod) must come up with an extra $1 billion annually,
While biofuels have proven to be an effective, renewable, low-carbon alternative to gasoline and diesel, jet fuels pose unique challenges.
and the BP energy company. ee combined chemical catalysis with life-cycle greenhouse gas modeling to create a new process for producing bio-based aviation fuel as well as automotive lubricant base oils,
a chemical engineer with joint appointments at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley. he recyclable catalysts we developed are capable of converting sugarcane biomass into a new class of aviation fuel and lubricants with superior cold
jet fuels have stringent requirements that must be met. et fuels must be oxygen-free, have the right boiling point distribution and lubricity,
such as farnesane, mixed directly with petroleum jet fuel have been tested, but offer only modest greenhouse gas reduction benefits.
the IPCC pointed out that drop in biofuels are the only viable alternative to conventional jet fuels,
These cycloalkane compounds can be tailored for the production of either jet fuel or automotive lubricant base oils.
The ability of the EBI process to yield jet fuel or lubricants should be a significant advantage for biorefineries. ugarcane biorefineries today produce ethanol,
who is managing the research project from BP side. xpanding the product slate to include aviation fuels
This new EBI process for making jet fuel and lubricants could also be used to make diesel
Although the goal of this study was to develop a strategy for the flexible production of jet fuels and lubricant base oils in a Brazilian sugarcane refinery,
