ASTM approves 6th pathway for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF): catalytic hydrothermolysis jet fuel (CHJ)

Green Car Congress

The standard provides that CHJ fuel, which was developed by Applied Research Associates (ARA), may be blended at up to 50% by volume with conventional jet fuel. The CH crude oil produced by the CH conversion process contains thousands of isomers distributed over the entire boiling range of jet and diesel fuels. Wang et al.
