Sustainable Aviation Fuels Forum

Day 1 – 20 Octobe 2014: CORE-JetFuel

Perspectives of Fuel Alternatives for Aviation – consideration of supply chains from Soil to JetFuel:

• Feedstock (focus on biomass), sustainability and sustainability certification schemes.
• Radical concepts and conversion technologies: production pathways.
• Technical compatibility, certification and deployment.
• Policies, incentives and regulation: ILUC, RED, EPA.
• Existing and recent R&D activities (state of progress, bottlenecks, lessons learnt)
• Fulfillment of high-level criteria (suitability, sustainability, scalability) of identified drop-in fuel production pathways.

Day2 - 21 October 2014: FORUM-AE

Environmental benefits of alternative fuels for aviation:

• Status on a European LCA methodology.
• Drop-in fuels and mitigation of particles and gaseous emissions.
• Constraints on the drop-in fuel fine composition regarding production capacity.
• Benefits of sulphur content reduction.
• Non-drop in fuels perspective

Day 3 – 22 October 2014: ITAKA

Sustainable value chain for biojet fuels: results, challenges and lessons learnt:

• Progress report, publication of results, challenges and lessons learnt (discussion panel) from the feedstock production to the final use.
• Meeting with NGOs (camelina HEFA pathway).
• Parallel sessions (to be defined).
