Abstract
Jet fuels derived from biomass (bio-derived sustainable aviation fuels or BSAFs) offer a means of reducing net carbon emissions from aviation. Drop-in substitute fuels are attractive for use with existing and near-future aviation fleets and fueling infrastructure. Yet fuels derived from different biomass feedstock and produced by different production pathways have different fuel properties. These fuel property differences—especially ignition properties—offer challenges. This chapter discusses the current status, challenges, and opportunities of BSAFs. Strategies for closer property matching and for modeling and dealing with varied and uncontrolled properties are highlighted.
