Low and Net-Zero Carbon Aviation Fuels

This book discusses the development, scalability, and integration of low and net-zero carbon fuel production for sustainable aviation. It provides key information on the aviation sector's carbon footprint, global targets, and decarbonization methods, including the use of alternative aviation fuels. Coverage includes research and industrial perspectives on the use of various low- and net-zero aviation fuels, as well as the effects of biofuels, synthetic fuels, hydrogen, e-fuels, ammonia, and alcohol-based fuels on aviation performance, cost, and the environment. Low and Net-Zero Carbon Aviation Fuels: Innovations and Pathways to Sustainable Flight is an important reference for academic researchers and industry practitioners, including those working for commercial aircraft manufacturers, airline maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) companies, and airline operators. Chapter "Towards sustainable aviation: a techno-economic comparison of alternative fuel and propulsion options" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com. Explains the role of alternative fuels for low and net-zero carbon aviation applications; Compares the implementation of conventional and alternative fuels for aircraft applications; Discusses performance, cost, and environmental aspects of sustainable aviation fuels.
