Jet Fuel of Renewable Fuels
Aviation emissions are a significant portion of global CO2 emissions, with demand for air travel continuing to increase and the percentage of global emissions from aviation projected to rise. With no technology for electrification of air travel available for the foreseeable future, decarbonization of air travel and continued operation of today’s existing aircraft will require renewable jet fuel.
REACH™ can produce jet fuel hydrocarbons, which can be used as carbon negative drop-in blend component in today’s existing aircraft fleet, with analysis of samples from bench scale production showing promising results for ASTM certification. Unlike jet fuel produced from petroleum, which contains toxic aromatics such as benzene, jet fuel blending components produced by REACH™ contain no aromatics and will instead contain cycloalkanes. This will result in a cleaner burning fuel and improved air quality in population centers near airfields.
