Abstract

The aeronautical industry is under significant pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 50% by 2050 compared to 2005 levels. Biojet fuels emerge as a promising solution, offering the potential to be used in existing aircraft engines without modifications. However, the implementation of biojet fuels faces several obstacles, including economic competitiveness, raw material supply, and certification challenges. This chapter explores the complexities of the biojet fuel supply chain, from raw material cultivation and harvesting to production, storage, and transport. It delves into the various conversion technologies available, such as Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA), Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ), Fischer-Tropsch (FT), Syngas Fermentation (SF), and Direct Sugar to Hydrocarbons (DSHC), each with its own advantages and limitations. The techno-economic analysis reveals that while individual conversion routes like HEFA and FT show promise, an integrated system approach could be more viable for large-scale production. This integrated system not only maximizes the use of raw materials like sugarcane, jatropha, and eucalyptus but also generates valuable co-products, reducing overall production costs. The environmental assessment highlights that an integrated system can achieve lower net CO2 emissions compared to fossil jet fuel, making it a sustainable alternative. The chapter also discusses the potential of Brazil as a strategic player in biojet fuel production, leveraging its vast biomass resources and favorable climatic conditions. The findings underscore the need for a balanced approach that considers economic viability, environmental impact, and technological integration to pave the way for a sustainable future in aviation.
