The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to the Cost and Greenhouse Gas Implications of Advanced Bio-Jet Fuel Production
by Jim Lane (Biofuels Digest) JBEI’s been working hard on jet fuels. Why? Biological routes are advantaged in their ability to produce naphthenes (approximately one third of jet fuel, 45% of diesel fuel), whereas most other alternative jet fuel processes produce paraffins. Also, Cycloalkanes increase energy density and are essential to engine integrity in a number of fielded systems due to their ability to swell o-rings and seals. There are opportunities for early adoption, cost reductions, and scaling in industries that value performance and/or low GHG emissions. JBEI’s Corinne D. Scown VP, LEAD & Deputy Division Director, EAEI for the Joint BioEnergy Institute and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab presented these slides at ABLC Next 2022. READ MORE
