New Research Evaluates Potential of 5 Aviation Fuels To Lessen Supply Chain Shocks
By Anna Squires, NLR
Tight jet fuel supplies—and a growing demand for jet fuel—are intensifying interest in an aviation fuel mix that extends beyond Jet A and A-1, the most widely used aviation fuels in the world. Now, researchers from the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) have released new research evaluating the potential of five emerging fuels.
The flagship report, titled An Overview of Potential Future Aviation Energy Carriers, was funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and explores the production potential of five fuels: SAF, liquid hydrogen, liquefied natural gas, liquefied ethane, and Jet X.
