MIT/RAND Study Concludes Three Types of Alternative Jet Fuel May Be Available in Commercial Quantities Over the Next Decade

Green Car Congress

The prospects for FT jet fuels depend crucially on construction of a few pioneer commercial plants in the next few years. Production of commercial quantities of HRJ depends on the availability of appropriate feedstocks at competitive prices. Alternative jet fuels will have a limited impact on fuel price volatility.
