Cost-benefit analysis of ultra-low sulfur jet fuel
… is the introduction of an Ultra Low Sulfur (ULS) jet fuel standard for global commercial aviation. A full cost-benefit analysis, including impacts on air quality, climate, operations, and lifecycle costs is necessary to justify such a policy. The cost of a ULS jet fuel policy is well-characterized …

The design of a combustion test facility for synthetic jet fuel research
… of non-petroleum-derived aviation gas turbine fuels, it was appropriate to review the complete list of jet-fuel specifications to assess whether they were sufficiently robust to ensure fit-forpurpose within the new paradigm. Although this has been an industry-wide endeavour, there were some …

Climate policy and the airline industry : emissions trading and renewable jet fuel
… Trading Scheme and a hypothetical renewable jet fuel mandate on US airlines. I find that both the EU Scheme up until 2020 and a renewable jet fuel mandate of 1 bn gallons per year from 2018 to 2022 would have a small impact on US airlines and emissions, and operations would continue to grow …

Water consumption footprint and land requirements of alternative diesel and jet fuel
The Renewable Fuels Standard 2 (RFS2) is an important component of alternative transportation fuels policy in the United States (US). By mandating the production of alternative fuels, RFS2 attempts to address a number of imperfections in the transportation fuels market: US economic vulnerability to …
