Sustainable Aviation Fuels

Sustainable aviation fuels have the potential to make an essential contribution to decarbonizing the aviation sector and play an important role in strengthening the circular bioeconomy. This book presents recent advances and challenges in sustainable aviation fuel, with contributions from a global group of industry experts exploring alternative fuel technologies, feedstocks and conversion processes, combustion performance and emissions, and the technical and environmental challenges of implementing the use of alternative fuels for aviation. The book presents sustainability assessments, including techno-economic analyses and lifecycle assessments on developing sustainable aviation fuels from renewable sources, mainly from second and third-generation biomass feedstocks.

Sustainable Aviation Fuels: Recent Advances and Future Challenges provides an excellent overview of

the aviation and green energy sectors and is an invaluable resource for researchers and industry

practitioners working on commercially viable sustainable aviation fuels. The book will also provide a

foundation for graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and professionals working in the

broader fields of sustainable energy.

• Covers all aspects of sustainable aviation fuel;


• Examines the current state of the industry;


• Provides a sustainability assessment of aviation fuel in the marketplace.
