Aviation fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications, such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high temperature, among other properties.
Most aviation fuels available for aircraft are kinds of petroleum spirit used in engines with spark plugs (i.e. piston and Wankel rotary engines), or fuel for jet turbine engines, which is also used in diesel aircraft engines.
ASTMLS
Fuels have to conform to a specification in order to be approved for use in type certificated aircraft. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) developed specifications for automobile gasoline as well as aviation gasoline. These specifications are ASTM D910 and ASTM D6227 for aviation gasoline and ASTM D439 or ASTM D4814 (latest revision) for automobile gasoline.
Production of aviation fuel
The production of aviation fuel falls into two categories: fuel suitable for turbine engines and fuel suitable for internal combustion engines. There are international specifications for each.
There are many ways to produce SAF. And yes, you can help too by collecting your used cooking oil by example!
Do you have some chemical memories? Watch this last video to understand the mechanism of production!

How Jet Fuel Is Made From Trash | WSJ
Sustainable aviation fuel – or SAF – helps cut down air travel’s carbon emissions. SAF is seeing a large surge in investment that could fuel its growth after the industry has spent years trying to take off with efforts to decarbonize flights.
WSJ takes a look at the SAF supply problem, and how airlines and the government are pumping money into the low-carbon fuel sector to help get this industry off the ground.

Can sustainable aviation fuel clean up flying? | FT Rethink
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which is made from feedstocks such as used cooking oil, can reduce emissions from flying by up to 80 per cent. With the aviation industry under pressure to hit net zero by 2050, airlines are eager to increase its use. The FT’s Myles McCormick looks at whether production of SAF can be scaled, and how long it will take.

The Future of Flight: 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel #airforce #aviation
Did you know an Air Force can also be eco-friendly? Britain’s Royal Air Force is leading the way, becoming the first to fly a military air transport using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Meanwhile, India's Air Force is also making strides, with SAF test flights underway. SAF, made from renewable sources like agricultural waste, could reduce carbon emissions by millions of tonnes annually.

Did you know an Air Force can also be eco-friendly? Britain’s Royal Air Force is leading the way, becoming the first to fly a military air transport using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Meanwhile, India's Air Force is also making strides, with SAF test flights underway. SAF, made from renewable sources like agricultural waste, could reduce carbon emissions by millions of tonnes annually.

Today’s jet fuel impacts the environment. A proven alternative fuel - named Sustainable Aviation Fuel - can reduce lifecycle CO2 emissions compared to conventional fuel. SAF is one of the aerospace industry’s best decarbonisation solutions which can help for the betterment of our planet. So what is sustainable aviation fuel?
Aviation fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications, such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high temperature, among other properties.
Most aviation fuels available for aircraft are kinds of petroleum spirit used in engines with spark plugs (i.e. piston and Wankel rotary engines), or fuel for jet turbine engines, which is also used in diesel aircraft engines.

Fuels have to conform to a specification in order to be approved for use in type certificated aircraft. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) developed specifications for automobile gasoline as well as aviation gasoline. These specifications are ASTM D910 and ASTM D6227 for aviation gasoline and ASTM D439 or ASTM D4814 (latest revision) for automobile gasoline.
Production of aviation fuel
The production of aviation fuel falls into two categories: fuel suitable for turbine engines and fuel suitable for internal combustion engines. There are international specifications for each.
One particular topic expected to garner attention is the anticipated increase of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which, according to the latest findings from the International Aviation Transport...

“It should be noted that this oil depot provided fuel to the Engels-2 military airfield, where enemy strategic aviation is based,” the general staff added.
The project will also produce 7,500 tonnes of green hydrogen derivatives, including green methanol, green urea, and sustainable aviation fuel, primarily targeting export markets.
The Ukrainian military reported multiple explosions and a big fire at the “Kristal” oil depot, which it said provided fuel to the “Engels-2” military airfield.
