New efficient biphasic catalytic process for conversion of biomass to dense jet-range fuels

Green Car Congress

Most current bio-jet fuels consist primarily of linear or branched chain alkanes; they suffer from low densities (~0.76 g/mL) and low volumetric heating values compared with those of petro-jet fuels. As a result, most alternative fuels have to blend with petro-jet fuels to meet the energy density requirements.

Harmonizing Low Carbon Fuel Standards

Green Car Congress

Eleven northeast and mid-Atlantic states are currently participating in the evaluation of a regional Clean Fuels Standard (CFS), which would lower the average carbon intensity of transportation fuels in the region and support the development and use of alternative fuels such as advanced biofuels, electricity, and natural gas.

High-density renewable jet fuel from eucalyptus

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Washington State University and the University of Nevada developed a novel process for synthesizing dense jet fuel from mint, pine, gumweed, eucalyptus or other plants. However, most of the reported bio-jet fuels are primarily composed of linear or branched chain alkanes. —Yang et al.
