Aviation biofuel

An aviation biofuel (also known as bio-jet fuel[1] or bio-aviation fuel (BAF)[2]) is a biofuel used to power airplanes and other aircraft.
Aviation biofuel can be made from
- plant or animal sources such as Jatropha, algae, tallows, waste oils, palm oil, Babassu, and Camelina
- solid biomass.
- The fuel can be made by an alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) process from waste fermentation
- from synthetic biology
Small piston engines can be changed, so that they use ethanol as fuel.
Synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPK) is any non-petroleum-based fuel made (or designed) to replace kerosene jet fuel.
Sustainable biofuels are an alternative to electrofuels (or e-fuels).[3] (Related page, Sustainability)
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
[change | change source]Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is certified as being sustainable by a third-party organisation. One such organisation is the Roundtable For Sustainable Biofuels.
(Used cooking oil or) waste cooking-oil can be used to make SAF.
