Low-Carbon, Bio-Based Sustainable Aviation Fuel

To reduce the environmental impact of aviation, biofuel for jets is a key aspect for the future, because it offers an immediate impact on the carbon footprint.

Our renewable low-carbon jet fuels can be used in today’s aircraft. Our Alcohol-to-Jet Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (ATJ-SPK) is Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) that is one of the few non-fossil based alternative jet fuels available for commercial use.

Since it is ready to replace petroleum-based jet fuel, it meets or exceeds the standards in ASTM D1655 specification.:

• For flash point, the standard stipulates a 38 degrees C minimum, and both typical Jet A-1 and ATJ are well within acceptable range at 48 degrees C.
• Both also pass the standard for thermal oxidation stability.
• For freezing point, the standard requires -40 degrees C maximum for Jet A and -47 degrees C for Jet A-1,and Jet A-1 complies with -50 degrees C, while ATJ is -80 degrees C.
• The energy density standard is 42.8 MJ/kg minimum, and Jet A-1 complies with 42.9 MJ/kg, while ATJ has 43.2 MJ/kg.
• The total sulfur content standard is 0.3 percent max, while Jet A-1 comes in at 0.05 percent and ATJ rates at less than 0.01 percent.
