Project Number: 033
Category: Alternative Fuels
This project aims to establish a foundational database of information about current and newly emerging alternative jet fuels, with the goal of eventually acting as the comprehensive and centralized knowledge-base to help ensure safe use of new fuels.
The research team has integrated pre-existing data from various entities into an online web portal. The database provides useful information for understanding variations in specifications and performance tests for alternative jet fuels including those already certified by ASTM standards. In addition to providing data, analysis of the information to support ongoing certification efforts (i.e., ASTM Generix Annex, and integration of GCxGC information) is also being carried out and disseminated.
