Biofuels 2015 - Producing advantageous biofuels for heavy duty and jet engines

摘要

The world desires both higher efficiency engines andlower greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting biofuels. thecontinual improvement of the environmentalrequirements of ICAO (International Civil AviationOrganization) forces new research to be carriedout.The use of renewable biofuels obtained fromplants or fatty acids is very promising. At present,aviation accounts for about 2% of man-madeemissions of CO2. Foreign companies in recent years(2008-2014) have been intensively studying thepossibility of using alternative fuels without the needfor modification of aircrafts and engines. The firstflight of the airplane on biofuel took place in 2008.The British Airline Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd isthe proprietor of that aircraft. Boeing and itsinternational partners are already working hard tobring biofuels from the testing stage to themanufacturing stage. Boeing 747-8 Freighter and the787 Dreamliner made the first demonstration oftransatlantic and transpacific flights on biofuels in2011 and 2012 KLM began weekly flights by anAirbus A330-200 between Queen BeatrixInternational Airport, in Oranjestad, Aruba, andAmsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, Netherlands, usingconverted cooking oil as aircraft fuel. So far, Russiahas not done commercial-scale biofuel production.However, this trend has a great future because of thepresence of large sown areas and water surfaces inour country When using biofuel, the emission ofsmoke, solid carbon, carbon monoxide, sulfur andtotal carbon dioxide is decreased.
