Carbon Mitigation in Indian Aviation by Blending Jet Fuel with Biofuels
نویسنده
چکیده
The Indian Aviation Sector has been predicted to become the world’s third largest carrier by 2020. It is expected to carry 460 million passengers per annum shortly. A sector of such magnitude need to be environment friendly. The International Air Transport Association has declared to cut its carbon emissions to 50% by 2050. The National Biofuels Policy has also targeted to blend 20% biofuels to its fossil fuel consumption. This paper aims in forecasting the jet fuel demand for the Indian Aviation sector and the subsequent carbon mitigation achieved by blending with biofuels. The utilization of the wastelands for the biofuel production in various states of India has also been forecasted.

The Impact of Advanced Biofuels on Aviation Emissions and Operations in the U.S
We analyze the economic and emissions impacts on U.S. commercial aviation of the Federal Aviation Administration’s renewable jet fuel goal when met using advanced fermentation (AF) fuel from perennial grasses. These fuels have recently been certified for use in aircraft and could potentially provide greater environmental benefits than aviation biofuels approved previously. Due to uncertainties ...
متن کاملLife-cycle analysis of greenhouse gas emissions from renewable jet fuel production
BACKGROUND The introduction of renewable jet fuel (RJF) is considered an important emission mitigation measure for the aviation industry. This study compares the well-to-wake (WtWa) greenhouse gas (GHG) emission performance of multiple RJF conversion pathways and explores the impact of different co-product allocation methods. The insights obtained in this study are of particular importance if R...
متن کاملThe spherically symmetric droplet burning characteristics of Jet-A and biofuels derived from camelina and tallow
This study compares liquid fuel combustion characteristics of biofuels derived from camelina (POSF6152) and tallow (POSF6308) with a US domestic aviation fuel (Jet-A, POSF4658) using the spherically symmetric (one-dimensional) droplet flame configuration as the basis of comparison. A blend of camelina biofuel and Jet-A is also examined. The initial droplet diameters were fixed at 0.57 ± 0.03 mm...
متن کاملWaste oil derived biofuels in China bring brightness for global GHG mitigation.
This study proposed a novel way for global greenhouse gas reduction through reusing China's waste oil to produce biofuels. Life cycle greenhouse gas mitigation potential of aviation bio-kerosene and biodiesel derived from China's waste oil in 2010 was equivalent to approximately 28.8% and 14.7% of mitigation achievements on fossil-based CO2 emissions by Annex B countries of the Kyoto Protocol i...
متن کاملBiofuels for Aviation:
However, aviation biofuels are not just a lobbying gimmick. Oil and biotech companies, airlines and aircraft manufacturers, government agencies (particularly in the US) and venture capitalists are investing large sums into research and development of biofuels for aircraft. Recent test flights have shown that biofuel use in aviation is technically possible. Two types of aviation biofuels are in ...
