U.S. R&D Approach

  • Focus on Alternative Jet Fuels (AJF) that are “drop-in” fuels
  • Emphasize public-private-academia partnerships
  • Work across the entire supply chain with all stakeholders

– feedstock, logistics, transport, conversion, distribution & end use

  • Identify key feedstock, conversion, & end use combinations

– Local & regional – there are many diverse solutions – Cost effective – Sustainable (environmental, economic, social)

  • Combine multiple government investments to address

challenges across the supply chain

  • Encourage open information sharing and cooperation
  • Prioritize international coordination

FAA Alternative Jet Fuel Activities

  • Testing

§ Support Cert/Qual testing § Improve Cert/Qual process § Emissions measurements

  • Analysis

§ Environmental sustainability § Techno-economic analysis § Future scenarios

  • Coordination

§ Interagency § Public-Private § State & Regional § International

Testing: Status of Alternative Jet Fuel Approvals

  • Since 2009 five fuels included in the ASTM International

alternative jet fuel specification (D7566)

  • Lipids, sugars and biomass feedstocks
  • Six fuels under active evaluation; more anticipated

Coordination: Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI)

  • Public-Private coalition for commercial aviation to

engage the emerging alternative fuels industry

  • Enable development of alt jet fuels:

– Equivalent safety/performance (drop-in) – Comparable cost – Environmental improvement – Security of Energy supply

  • State and Regional Support
  • International Cooperation

Where We Stand Today

  • Commercial flights on SAJF are taking place
  • 1.1 million gallons in 2016 from one commercial

producer, one demonstration

Next Steps

ØContinue Testing, Analysis and Coordination work ØContinue to support the approval process of alternative fuel pathways through ASTM International ØEvaluate regional alternative jet fuel supplies to identify the key barriers to the development and deployment of ‘drop-in’ AJFs ØQuantify the economic and environmental benefits of AJF at local, regional and global levels
