This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary human activities that release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere are the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil) to generate electricity, the provision of energy for transportation, and as a consequence of some industrial processes. Although aviation CO2 emissions only make up approximately 2.0 to 2.5 percent of total global annual CO2 emissions, research to reduce CO2 emissions is urgent because (1) such reductions may be legislated even as commercial air travel grows, (2) because it takes new technology a long time to propagate into and through the aviation fleet, and (3) because of the ongoing impact of global CO2 emissions. Commercial Aircraft Propulsion and Energy Systems Research develops a national research agenda for reducing CO2 emissions from commercial aviation. This report focuses on propulsion and energy technologies for reducing carbon emissions from large, commercial aircraftâ€" single-aisle and twin-aisle aircraft that carry 100 or more passengersâ€"because such aircraft account for more than 90 percent of global emissions from commercial aircraft. Moreover, while smaller aircraft also emit CO2, they make only a minor contribution to global emissions, and many technologies that reduce CO2 emissions for large aircraft also apply to smaller aircraft. As commercial aviation continues to grow in terms of revenue-passenger miles and cargo ton miles, CO2 emissions are expected to increase. To reduce the contribution of aviation to climate change, it is essential to improve the effectiveness of ongoing efforts to reduce emissions and initiate research into new approaches.

Download or read book Green Aviation written by Emily S. Nelson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aircraft emissions currently account for ~3.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions. The number of passenger miles has increased by 5% annually despite 9/11, two wars and gloomy economic conditions. Since aircraft have no viable alternative to the internal combustion engine, improvements in aircraft efficiency and alternative fuel development become essential. This book comprehensively covers the relevant issues in green aviation. Environmental impacts, technology advances, public policy and economics are intricately linked to the pace of development that will be realized in the coming decades. Experts from NASA, industry and academia review current technology development in green aviation that will carry the industry through 2025 and beyond. This includes increased efficiency through better propulsion systems, reduced drag airframes, advanced materials and operational changes. Clean combustion and emission control of noise, exhaust gases and particulates are also addressed through combustor design and the use of alternative fuels. Economic imperatives from aircraft lifetime and maintenance logistics dictate the drive for "drop-in" fuels, blending jet-grade and biofuel. New certification standards for alternative fuels are outlined. Life Cycle Assessments are used to evaluate worldwide biofuel approaches, highlighting that there is no single rational approach for sustainable buildup. In fact, unless local conditions are considered, the use of biofuels can create a net increase in environmental impact as a result of biofuel manufacturing processes. Governmental experts evaluate current and future regulations and their impact on green aviation. Sustainable approaches to biofuel development are discussed for locations around the globe, including the US, EU, Brazil, China and India.

Book excerpt: With clarity, conscience, and courage, global-systems pioneer Jorgen Randers and his distinguished contributors map the forces that will shape the next four decades. Forty years ago, The Limits to Growth study addressed the grand question of how humans would adapt to the physical limitations of planet Earth. It predicted that during the first half of the 21st century the ongoing growth in the human ecological footprint would stop-either through catastrophic "overshoot and collapse"-or through well-managed "peak and decline." So, where are we now? And what does our future look like? In the book 2052, Jorgen Randers, one of the coauthors of Limits to Growth, issues a progress report and makes a forecast for the next forty years. To do this, he asked dozens of experts to weigh in with their best predictions on how our economies, energy supplies, natural resources, climate, food, fisheries, militaries, political divisions, cities, psyches, and more will take shape in the coming decades. He then synthesized those scenarios into a global forecast of life as we will most likely know it in the years ahead. The good news: we will see impressive advances in resource efficiency, and an increasing focus on human well-being rather than on per capita income growth. But this change might not come as we expect. Future growth in population and GDP, for instance, will be constrained in surprising ways-by rapid fertility decline as result of increased urbanization, productivity decline as a result of social unrest, and continuing poverty among the poorest 2 billion world citizens. Runaway global warming, too, is likely. So, how do we prepare for the years ahead? With heart, fact, and wisdom, Randers guides us along a realistic path into the future and discusses what readers can do to ensure a better life for themselves and their children during the increasing turmoil of the next forty years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twilight in the Desert reveals a Saudi oil and production industry that could soon approach a serious, irreversible decline. In this exhaustively researched book, veteran oil industry analyst Matthew Simmons draws on his three-plus decades of insider experience and more than 200 independently produced reports about Saudi petroleum resources and production operations. He uncovers a story about Saudi Arabias troubled oil industry, not to mention its political and societal instability, which differs sharply from the globally accepted Saudi version. Its a story that is provocative and disturbing, based on undeniable facts, but until now never told in its entirety. Twilight in the Desert answers all readers questions about Saudi oil and production industries with keen examination instead of unsubstantiated posturing, and takes its place as one of the most important books of this still-young century.

Download or read book Alternative Jet Fuel Scenario Analysis Report written by Kristin C. Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This analysis presents a 'bottom up' projection of the potential production of alternative aviation (jet) fuels in North America (United States, Canada, and Mexico) and the European Union in the next decade. The analysis is based on available plans from individual companies and considers existing and emerging fuel production technologies. The analysis also forecasts how alternative fuels might contribute to greenhouse gas goals. Based on a review of fuel production companies' stated plans to produce jet fuel, the study incorporated company-specific data into seven scenarios varying alternative jet fuel production and expansion assumptions. This study supports the use of advanced alternative fuels as one important component of achieving emissions and environmental targets, although other additional measures and/or new technologies may be required. The analysis suggests that the FAA goal of 1 billion gallons of alternative jet fuel use by U.S. aviation in 2018 is achievable. A combination of the most optimistic demand forecasts and the 'product switch' production scenarios leads to North American aviation greenhouse gas emissions leveling off or decreasing between years by 2020. For the limited scenarios considered, additional measures would be needed to return to 2005 emissions levels in North America by 2020. In the European analysis, leveling of GHG emissions by 2020 only occurs in cases where ethanol and/or biodiesel producers switch to producing some jet fuel. As this 'bottom up' projection could not account for all potential alternative fuel producers (either because public data were not available or because these companies were unknown to the authors), the results presented should be viewed as one possible range of future production levels that could occur in North America and Europe. It does not consider the amount of alternative fuels that could be produced from all potentially available feedstocks (i.e., technical potential) which would be much greater. Further, production outside of North America and Europe was not included in the analysis so actual demand for alternative jet fuels in North America and Europe could be met with alternative fuels produced outside the region. Finally, the development of new technologies, new market conditions, new participants, and improved processes for known technologies could all lead to production levels higher than shown in this analysis. In fact the technical potential of biofuels production greatly exceeds projected demand. Likewise, policies and economic conditions could lead to lower, or nonexistent production levels."--Technical report documentation page.

Download or read book Sustainable Aviation Fuel written by Carney Mount and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-07-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) refers to a type of fuel that is produced from renewable feedstocks and has a lower environmental impact compared to conventional jet fuel. SAF is designed to address the aviation industry's significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution. It aims to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, improve air quality, and promote the sustainable use of resources. SAF is produced through various pathways, such as hydroprocessing, fermentation, thermochemical conversion, and biomass-to-liquid processes. These pathways involve converting biomass feedstocks, such as plant-based crops, waste materials, and algae, into liquid hydrocarbon fuels suitable for aviation use. The production processes aim to maximize efficiency, minimize waste, and reduce emissions throughout the entire lifecycle of the fuel. One of the key advantages of SAF is its potential for significant greenhouse gas emissions reductions. When compared to conventional jet fuel, SAF can achieve substantial CO2 emissions savings, often ranging from 50% to over 80% on a lifecycle basis. By using SAF, airlines can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to global efforts to mitigate climate change. SAF is designed to be a drop-in fuel, meaning it can be blended with conventional jet fuel and used in existing aircraft engines without requiring significant modifications. This compatibility allows for a smooth transition and integration of SAF into the aviation industry's existing infrastructure and operations. Certification schemes and standards ensure the sustainability and quality of SAF. These schemes verify that SAF is produced using environmentally responsible practices, adheres to specific sustainability criteria, and meets performance standards necessary for safe aviation operations. The future prospects for SAF are promising. Technological advancements, such as feedstock diversification, process optimization, and improved conversion methods, are continuously being pursued to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of SAF production. Supportive policies, market incentives, and international collaborations further drive the development, adoption, and commercialization of SAF. By embracing SAF, the aviation industry can play a significant role in reducing its environmental impact, promoting sustainability, and contributing to a greener future for air travel.
