Readers involved in bioenergy and aviation sectors--research, planning, or policy making activities--will benefit from this thorough overview.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe aviation industry's commitment to reducing GHG emissions along with increasing oil prices have sparked the need for renewable and affordable energy sources tailored to this sector's very specific needs. As jet engines cannot be readily electrified, turning to biofuels is the most viable option. However, aviation is a type of transportation for which traditional biofuels, such as bioethanol and biodiesel, do not fulfill key fuel requirements. Therefore, different solutions to this situation are being researched and tested around the globe, which makes navigating this scenario particularly challenging. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book guides readers through this intricate subject, bringing them up to speed with its current status and future prospects both from the academic and the industry point of view. Science and technology chapters delve into the technical aspects of the currently tested and the most promising technology in development, as well as their respective feedstocks and the use of additives as a way of adapting them to meet certain specifications. Conversion processes such as hydrotreatment, synthetic biology, pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction and Fisher-Tropsch are explored and their results are assessed for current and future viability. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Chuck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 012804568X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128045688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Christopher Chuck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48135924646143,"sku":"9780128045688","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91996a39-9b8b-44d8-b9b5-7bdc4d12062d.jpg?v=1770159351","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/biofuels-for-aviation-christopher-chuck-9780128045688","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
