Critical Challenges White Papers

In November of 2012, over 80 members of the CAAFI® R&D team, which includes a range of stakeholders from the aviation and alternative fuels industries, academia, and government, identified key immediate and longer-term challenges that deserve attention. This effort resulted in the CAAFI R&D Team's position paper on near and longer-term R&D needs to facilitate development and deployment of alternative jet fuels.

The CAAFI R&D Team developed a series of white papers that provide background and greater discussion on the topics raised in the position paper. Both the position paper and the series of white papers are anticipated to be revised and expanded upon on an annual basis.

What Are The Different Types Of SAF For Blending? - Air Traffic Insider

What Are The Different Types Of SAF For Blending? In this informative video, we will discuss sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and its role in reducing the aviation industry's carbon emissions. We will break down the various types of SAF available for blending with traditional jet fuel. Each type of SAF is produced from renewable or waste materials, making it a sustainable option for airlines looking to minimize their environmental impact. We will cover the different methods of SAF production, including Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids, Fischer-Tropsch Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene, Hydroprocessed Fermented Sugars to Synthetic Isoparaffins, Alcohol-to-Jet Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene, and Catalytic Hydrothermolysis Synthesized Kerosene. Understanding these methods is essential for grasping how they can be blended with conventional jet fuel, allowing airlines to transition towards greener practices without making significant changes to their aircraft or fueling systems. As the demand for sustainable practices in aviation continues to grow, knowing about the blending capabilities of SAF becomes increasingly important.
