- Life‐cycle analysis of sustainable aviation fuel production through catalytic hydrothermolysis
- 作者： Peter Hua Chen Uisung Lee Xinyu Liu Hao Cai Michael Wang 来源： Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining 年份： 2023 文献类型 ： 期刊 关键词： grease assessment Aviation biofuel Fuel SAF catalytic Sustainable brown cycle life hydrothermolysis
- 描述： Catalytic hydrothermolysis (CH) is a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) pathway that has been recently approved for use in aircraft fuel production. In alignment with broader sustainable aviation goals, SAF production through CH requires a quantitative assessment of carbon intensity (CI) impacts. In this study, a current‐day life‐cycle analysis (LCA) was performed on SAF produced via CH to determine the CI. Various oily feedstocks were considered, including vegetable oils (soybean, carinata, camelina and canola) and low‐burden oils and greases (corn oil, yellow grease and brown grease). Life‐cycle inventory data were collected on all processes within the CH LCA boundary: feedstock cultivation and/or collection, preprocessing, hydrothermal cleanup and CH, biocrude refining, fuel transportation and end use through combustion. Baseline results show that the CH‐produced SAF can be generated with CI reductions ranging from 48 to 82% compared with conventional jet fuel. Modest improvements to CI can be achieved through incremental changes to the brown grease CH process, such as relaxing the dewatering specification and implementing renewable natural gas and electricity, which could decrease the CI from 22.9 to 7.9 g CO2e/MJ. Total CH fuel production potential was also assessed on the basis of current or near‐future feedstock availability and CI. The total biofuel production potential of CH (SAF and renewable fuel co‐products) in the US sums to approximately 3487 million gallons per year, with 97% of these volumes having a CI below 50% of that for petroleum jet fuel. The study shows that from an LCA perspective, CH offers a viable SAF pathway that is comparable with existing SAF pathways like hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids.
