Abstract
The transportation sector is increasingly looking towards lower carbon intensive technologies as governments and industry are more mindful of the impending consequences of conventional carbon energy sources. A potential solution to limiting the impact of anthropogenic carbon from the aviation transportation sector is the use of non-fossil based jet fuels. These non-conventional or alternative jet fuels (AJFs) additionally offer the potential of tailored performance characteristics for mission specific demands and an opportunity to develop domestic sustainable and diverse energy capacity. While the most significant hurdle to market penetration of these fuels is economics, the certification process of these alternative fuels can be significantly demanding enough to preclude some AJF options. The National Jet Fuels Combustion Program (NJFCP) is established to streamline the certification process of AJFs via the development of experimental, computational and theoretical tools. This year we report brief summaries on each Working Group of the NJFCP as they relate to informing the fuel approval process and additional scientific findings relevant to the gas turbine combustion and jet fuels research communities.
