The aviation fueling business is as old as the aviation industry itself.
Driven by security and environmental concerns as well as skyrocketing oil prices — United Airlines more than doubled its fuel surcharge per ticket to $ 50 on January 12 — the aviation industry continues to cut back on fuel burn as it searches for cleaner, cheaper alternatives.
At the same time, the aviation industry has become far more fuel efficient in the face of soaring prices.
In the airline industry, for example, this would be useful because some countries require that aviation fuels include a specific biofuel percentage.
Ian Poll, professor of aerospace engineering at the Cranfield University in England, in a recent lecture covered by the Times of London called for a «big research program to help the aviation industry convert from fossil fuels to nuclear energy.»
That amount is only a drop in the bucket compared with the 65 billion gallons of fuel the aviation industry uses worldwide each year, but it is a start, the executives said.
The IATA Aviation Fuel Forum is the premier industry meeting for the world's aviation fuel communFuel Forum is the premier industry meeting for the world's aviation fuel communfuel community.
I think the key to future liquid fuels (and a couple of small industries like farming and aviation) will be cheap hydrogen from nuclear.
NextGen should also reduce the aviation industry's environmental impact, saving more than 1.4 billion gallons of fuel from air traffic operations alone, and cutting carbon emissions by nearly 14 million tons by 2018, the FAA says
We know alternative fuels is an emerging industry that is vital to the future of aviation and this is just one of our initiatives to help make these fuels saleable and scalable.
The introduction of biofuels could mitigate some of aviation's carbon emissions, if biofuels can be developed to meet the demanding specifications of the aviation industry, although both the costs of such fuels and the emissions from their production process are uncertain at this time (medium agreement, medium evidence)[5.3.3].
«Decarbonization of heavy industry and aviation will be difficult, which makes converting industrial waste gases into low - carbon jet fuel a fascinating prospect,» said James Beard, climate and aviation specialist at WWF in the U.K. «All airlines should pursue the development of genuinely sustainable, low - carbon fuels that are certified to minimize indirect land use change.»
Yet, according to ICAO's 2013 projections, shown in the graph below, emissions from the aviation industry are set to grow 200 % -360 % on current levels by 2050, including the maximum use of lower - carbon alternative fuels.
Among claims that the US airline industry is moving more people more efficiently and much more quietly than in decades past, it also claims that the «US commercial aviation industry has improved its energy efficiency, moving twelve percent more people and twenty - two percent more freight than it did in 2000, while burning five percent less fuel and producing 10 million tons less carbon dioxide.»
Biofuels present the aviation industry with a convenient blind alley, facilitating the industry's expansion plans and avoiding pressure to reduce their fuel use and diverting political attention from the real need to cut air travel in order to reduce climate change.
This partnership to produce a next generation, low - carbon aviation fuel is a major step towards radically reducing our carbon footprint... With oil running out, it is important that new fuel solutions are sustainable and, with the steel industry alone able to deliver over 15 billion gallons of jet fuel annually, the potential is very exciting.
In other words, it's certainly more scalable than trying to use most biofuels for aviation, but if this was the only source of «green» aviation fuel, there's some massive contraction in order of the global aviation industry.
