U.S. Advanced Bio-fuel
In fact, if the fuel or traditional biomass fuel, carbon emissions generated during the flight is not much difference, while biofuels favored because of their raw materials in the carbon dioxide phase seed toabsorb of the life of the emissions from the atmosphere is reduced cyclecarbon. In other words, the most important effects of emissions from biomass-fuel in the boot.
Flight data from the last event, in relation to fuel and jatropha, algae, halophytes as source of biofuel in the full life cycle, sulfur and particulate emission reduction effect can be mainly up to 100% carbon emissions can be reduced by 60% – 80%. Therefore, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) recommended algae and camelina biofuel, jatropha as feedstock, and it is expected that the aviation industry each year to reduce emissions of carbon 0 , 7%.
IATA has also set an optimistic goal as follows: it will replace oil biodiesel in 10% of oil in 2017.
Air China Boeing 747-400 test flight with high biomass fuels in China’s aviation airport in the capital first October 28, 2011. Boeing 747-400, a total of four engines, one engine in the test flight using biomass as fuel, the other three engines still use general aviation kerosene.
Line for aviation kerosene
Boeing presented the “financial” journalists, the need to comply with the use of biomass as fuel in civil aviation: the unit weight and volume of higher energy, in hostile environments, the performance of to maintain proper fuel to meet the requirements of aircraft turbine engines, for all the requirements of aviation security should not be used to transform the plane and engine.
These requirements simply summarizes the composition of bio-kerosene jet fuel standard there is little difference between the value of combustion is also nearby.
The problems of raw materials
European Commission, Airbus, Lufthansa and biofuel manufacturers in Cologne, Germany (Choren Industries), the oil company Nast, Honeywell launched a “road fuels from biomass” (Flightpath Biofuels) initiatives to support and advocate for the production of storage and distribution of biofuels, to improve the use of biofuels in the aviation sector and, finally, marketing, and to 2020, annual production and consumption of sustainable production of biomass as fuel to reach 2 million tons per year to improve the use of biofuels, to promote its commercialization. In the certification of biofuels to reduce emissions, last year, states EU that the biomass fuel, where sales in the EU market should be subject to certification requirements for the sustainable production of biofuel raw materials to maintain biodiversity, crops and natural terrestrial changes, the system certification requirements to assess and monitor the life cycle of the fuel chain.
