Basics
- This page aims to look into routes to producing drop-in replacements for Kerosene and then also explore near-drop on replacements all from Biomass
- Some Power to Fuel tech may be mentioned, but simple Appropriate Materials methods will be the main aspiration
- For information on Fossil Kerosene and just the fuel itself see the Kerosene page
Drop in Replacements
- Large amounts of research in terms of developing this for “ Sustainable Avaiation Fuel “ (Some USA DOD Test Flights on Blends, maybe pure as well)
- Mainly Gasification then Methanol to Olefins
- Look into if Pyrolysis Oil was used
- This is the more complex method, but worth looking into
Near Drop in Replacements
- Similar to how Transesterification Biodiesel often just called Biodiesel (as opposed to Hydrotreating Biodiesel often called Renewable Diesel ) is not ‘’entirely’’ a direct “drop in” replacement for Diesel Fuel from fossil fuels, similarly some of the more simple Bio-Kerosene routes may be more akin to “Kerosene Equivalents”
- Main Candidates Are:
- Filtered/Treated Pyrolysis Oil
- Biodiesel / Hydrogenated Oil
- Pure Plant Oil from the right Oil Crop
