Ahlström et al. (2022): Sustainable Aviation Fuels – Options for Negative Emissions and High Carbon Efficiency
Johan M. Ahlström, Yawer Jafri, Elisabeth Wetterlund, Erik Furusjö; 59 pp. available at SSRN, http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4077522
The authors investigate seven different pathways for producing aviation biofuels coupled with either bio-energy carbon capture and storage (BECCS), or bio-energy carbon capture and utilization (BECCU). Both options allow for increased efficiency regarding utilization of feedstock carbon. The analysis uses process-level carbon- and energy balances, with carbon efficiency, climate impact and LCOP as primary performance indicators.
