ALTERNATE Project is aimed to provide better and deeper understanding about Sustainable Aviation Fuels. After 3 years of hard work, the project outcomes can be summarizes as:
– Definition of a list of suitable feedstocks, providing pros and cons about their production, usabilty, land use, energetic performance and many other parameters.
– Definition of Live Cycle Assessment methodologies, and their application to the analysis of the selected feedstocks.
– Analysis of the performance of the fuel, and their effects on the engine combustion, identifying limitations and potential hazards to be considered for safety purposes.
– Analysis on Market-based startegies for the implementation of SAF among airliners around the world, considering business strategies and their implementation.
