The ATJ Task Force in ASTM D02-J6, initiated by Gevo in 2010, focused on two main fuel products: ATJ-SPK (paraffins) and ATJ-SKA (Synthetic Kerosene with Aromatics). Gevo is preparing the shipment of ATJ to Alaska Airlines for this first flight. ATJ-SPK has a maximum blend ratio of 30%; ATJ-SKA has a maximum blend ratio up to 70%.

In theory it’s easy to convert the carbohydrates in cellulose, for instance, to small sugar molecules that nourish microorganisms which in turn produce methane and ethanol. The respective carbohydrate polymers of both chitin and cellulose form extremely dense, resilient bonds. But in practice, it has proven to be quite challenging.

To release the sugars locked into the cellulose polymers in biomass, producers use both physical and chemical methods, with physical chemical pretreatment processes followed by enzymatic hydrolysis being the most common, note Raines and Binder. Furthermore, the hydrolysate products are readily converted into ethanol by microorganisms.
