Biofuels in aviation: Fuel demand and CO2 emissions evolution in Europe toward 2030

The increase in global aviation fuel demand has prompted ICAO to declare neutral carbon growth policy in 2050 by using bio based aviation fuel. The purpose of this study was to simulate the production of non-edible vegetable oil into bioavtur and obtain the most potential nonedible vegetable oil based on yield and conversion to be converted into bioavtur. Three potential sources to be converted into bioavtur are kosambi oil, nyamplung oil and kemiri sunan oil. This research was done by simulating of the hydroprocessing process with process simulator by varying the operating conditions on each raw material. Hydrotreating process was varied at 1-5 MPa pressure and temperature 250°C-350°C. The result showed the operating pressure with the highest conversion and yield are around 4MPa. While the operating temperature with high conversion and yield are above 290°C. Nyamplung oil has overall the largest yield and conversion than other nonedible vegetable oil with average 10% greater conversion and 3,3% greater yield at 2MPa.

The Status

Aviation fuel demand is expected to continue to grow over the next decades and continue to rely heavily on kerosene fuel for use in jet engines. While efficiency and operational improvements are possible ways to reduce GHG emissions, decarbonisation will need to heavily rely on low carbon kerosene drop-in alternatives. Currently, alternative fuels make up a very small share of fuel used in aviation, but their commercialisation is making good progress. Hydrogen offers a longer term alternative fuel option but requires aircraft design and fuelling infrastructure changes. Electrification is emerging as an option for providing propulsion in aircraft, either in pure form in small aircraft or in hybrid mode in larger aircraft. This paper reviews the status, challenges and prospects of alternative fuels and electrification in aviation.
