The Effects of the Use of Algae and Jatropha Biofuels on Aircraft Engine Exhaust Emissions in Cruise Phase

Due to environmental pressure and the prevailing political economic situation in world, alternatives traditional fossil fuels are being sought. The use of bio-derived may reduce emission pollutants present jet engine exhausts. presented research investigates possibility replacing conventional fuel, which is kerosene, with plant-derived from marine algae jatropha. During analysis, based on available data, indices were computed, then, for adopted aircraft route, emissions kerosene alternative determined. A significant reduction most analyzed compounds (even by 40% CO) was achieved compared kerosene. obtained results discussed conclusion section.
