The introduction of renewable jet fuel (RJF) is considered an important emission mitigation measure for the aviation industry. This study compares well-to-wake (WtWa) greenhouse gas (GHG) performance multiple RJF conversion pathways and explores impact different co-product allocation methods. insights obtained in this are particular importance if included as instrument global Carbon Offsetting Reduction Scheme International Aviation (CORSIA). Fischer–Tropsch yield highest GHG reduction...
Abstract This study compares the short‐term economic feasibility of six conversion pathways for renewable jet fuel ( RJF ) production. The assessment combines (i) a harmonized techno‐economic analysis expected to be certified use in commercial aviation by 2020, (ii) pioneer plant taking into account technological immaturity, and (iii) quantified merits co‐producing alongside existing European supply chains pulp, wheat ethanol, beet sugar industries. None assessed are able reach price parity...
This study uses a geographically-explicit cost optimization model to analyze the impact of and interrelation between four reduction strategies for biofuel production: economies scale, intermodal transport, integration with existing industries, distributed supply chain configurations (i.e. chains an intermediate pre-treatment step reduce biomass transport cost). The assessed production levels ranging from 1 150 PJ a−1 in context Swedish forest industry. Biofuel was produced forestry using...
Abstract Production of aviation biofuels has been strongly encouraged by the volatility oil prices and environmental concerns. Brazilian society, companies, government are taking a step forward in production renewable jet fuel from biomass feedstocks largely available territory. This study evaluated use different (sugar crops, lignocellulosic biomass) for co‐production biojet higher value‐added products biorefinery platform. The biochemicals context was demonstrated to be economically...
Abstract This study presents supply scenarios of nonfood renewable jet fuel ( RJF ) in the European Union EU toward 2030, based on anticipated regulatory context, availability biomass and conversion technologies, competing demand from other sectors (i.e., transport, heat, power, chemicals). A cost optimization model was used to identify preconditions for increased production associated emission reductions, costs, impact sectors. Model show could increase 1 PJ 2021 165–261 /year (3.8–6.1...
Abstract It is expected that Brazil could play an important role in biojet fuel (BJF) production the future due to long experience biofuel and good agro‐ecological conditions. However, it difficult quantify techno‐economic potential of BJF because high spatiotemporal variability available land, biomass yield, infrastructure as well technological developments pathways. The objective this research assess recent identify location‐specific optimal combinations crops conversion In total, 13...
Abstract Several studies that have assessed the role of bioenergy in energy system primarily focused on electricity, heat, and road transport. However, sectors few alternatives to biomass, namely aviation chemical industry, are expected become increasingly important. We extended a bottom‐up systems model with fossil‐based bio‐based chemicals renewable jet fuels assess deployment biomass conversion technologies Netherlands until 2030. The comprises detailed cost‐structures mid‐term...
Abstract The climate impact of bioenergy is commonly quantified in terms CO 2 equivalents, using a fixed 100‐year global warming potential as an equivalency metric. This method has been criticized for the inability to appropriately address emissions timing and focus on single metric, which may lead inaccurate or incomplete quantification production. In this study, we introduce Dynamic Relative Climate Impact (DRCI) curves, novel approach visualize quantify systems over time. DRCI offers...
