Book excerpt: "Reconciling the challenges of climate change and local pollution with those of economic growth and mobility, have become increasingly pressing and urgent. By 2050, carbon dioxide emissions from international and domestic aviation are anticipated to double their ~2.4% contribution to global warming; a figure that does not consider the radiative forcing effect of other emissions at cruise altitude.This doctoral dissertation investigated the role for alternative jet fuels (AJF) in mitigating the climate impacts of aviation in decades to come. This socio-environmental research was overarched by a Post-Normal Science (PNS) theoretical framework, where a mixed methodological approach to aeronautics and the application of out-of-field methods, were instrumental for the development of both the descriptive and the normative components of PNS. The descriptive component of PNS centered on the implications for environmental governance, of defining post-normal issues in terms of what is and what can be known. Its normative component focused on identifying mechanisms for informing and improving decision-making in the air transport sector, based on reflexive, inclusive and transparent scientific inquiry.The analysis of the discursive foundations of aviation climate policy, including the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) alternative jet fuel strategy, revealed abiding instances of data obliquity, information gaps and asymmetries underlying unquestioned forms of problem representations apropos the environmental impacts of air transport.Some of the options identified in this thesis for addressing these issues encompass: a) an enhanced transparency and access to data collected by governments, industry, academia and other third-parties on aviation emissions from and beyond fuel combustion, b) the harmonization of epistemologies for measuring, allocating, assessing, verifying and reporting environmental data so as to render it comparable, c) a reassessment of the sectoral approach to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for aligning aviation policies and actions with the aims of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, d) greater engagement of stakeholders in the qualitative production, appraisal and use of knowledge, and e) a broad outreach to end-users for getting them involved, individually, in climate action. Problem (mis)representations within the aviation sector have historically bolstered a weak sustainability approach to its sectoral growth that, unless unsettled and replaced by strong sustainability narratives, will continue to effect long-term micro and macroscale risks and repercussions on people and the environment. These discursive and non-discursive practices may also hinder future deployment of sustainable AJF - particularly in countries rich in fossil resources such as Canada - by encouraging the production of fossil-derived fuels, known as lower carbon aviation fuels (LCAF), and when more economical, by favoring carbon offsetting over direct emissions abatement.Weak sustainability narratives in the aviation sector can be challenged by participatory decision-making, where the understanding of what matters, why does it and who says so is as relevant to the future of AJF as their economies of scale. Multi-stakeholder partnerships are promising mechanisms for bringing ofttimes overlooked strong sustainability perspectives and expertise, into the formulation of policies and regulations on AJF beyond the work of the ICAO.To illustrate this, the Canadian case study offered a comprehensive overview of the status, obstacles, opportunities and next steps for strategically addressing commercialization barriers for AJF, by means of a national roadmap - SAFI Canada. This roadmap was the result of the active and pluralistic involvement of stakeholders within a community of interest on AJF that was partly gathered for this purpose"--

Download or read book Federal Alternative Jet Fuels Research and Development Strategy written by National Science National Science and Technology Council and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. civil and military aviation community has historically relied upon energy-dense liquid jet fuel that is derived from petroleum, which is subject to volatile pricing and uncertain supply and harmful to the environment. More recently developed jet fuel alternatives derived from nonpetroleum feedstock can help address those issues and other U.S. energy-related challenges, making development of alternative energy fuels (AJFs) of increased interest in the realm of aviation. Effective Federal research and development can enable AJF development by reducing the costs of producing fuel, facilitating effective evaluation and approval of promising fuel pathways, ensuring that environmental and social benefits accrue from the use of these fuels, reducing technical uncertainty, and promoting private sector investment in production.

Download or read book Alternative Jet Fuel Scenario Analysis Report written by U.s. Department of Transportation and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analysis presents a “bottom up” projection of the potential production of alternative aviation (jet) fuels in North America (United States, Canada, and Mexico) and the European Union in the next decade. The analysis is based on available plans from individual companies and considers existing and emerging fuel production technologies. The analysis also forecasts how alternative fuels might contribute to greenhouse gas goals. Based on a review of fuel production companies' stated plans to produce jet fuel, the study incorporated company-specific data into seven scenarios varying alternative jet fuel production and expansion assumptions. This study supports the use of advanced alternative fuels as one important component of achieving emissions and environmental targets, although other additional measures and/or new technologies may also be required. The analysis suggests that the FAA goal of 1 billion gallons of alternative jet fuel use by U.S. aviation in 2018 is achievable.
