ASTM greenlights ethanol as feedstock for alcohol-to-jet synthetic fuel; blend level up to 50%

Green Car Congress

Because ethanol-based ATJ-SPK can use ethanol produced from any feedstock, using any conversion technology, approval of ethanol in ASTM D7566 Annex A5, means that sustainable aviation fuel can be produced anywhere around the globe, from available environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable feedstocks in each region.
