Lignocellulosic Biomass to Sustainable Aviation Fuel
摘要
To achieve high-volume, cost-effective, and easily integrated SAF production, several key challenges must be addressed, including low carbon yields from SAF production, reliable feedstock sources, and competition from renewable diesel. This chapter explores the gaps and opportunities to facilitate the production of SAF as an alternative to fossil-based jet fuels. This chapter details SAF’s chemical composition, ASTM approval process, current approved SAF production technologies, and the challenges and renewable feedstocks involved in SAF production. Thermochemical and biochemical routes to SAF from renewable carbon are discussed, including R&D priorities, and techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) for evaluating economic and sustainability potential.
