All the bio-version lacks are the aromatics — specific volatile hydrocarbon rings that are necessary to swell shut seals within
current aircraft engines, hence the need to blend it with conventional fuel.
It is therefore highly relevant to consider the
current and possible future effects of
aircraft engine emissions on the atmosphere.
In addition, the Endangerment Rule authorizes or obligates EPA to establish: (1) greenhouse gas emission standards for heavy trucks, marine vessels,
aircraft, locomotives, and other non-road vehicles and
engines; (2) greenhouse gas performance standards for potentially dozens of industrial source categories; and, (3) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for greenhouse gases set below
current atmospheric concentrations.
