A team of scientists have completed tests to quantify the emissions from the combustion of sustainable aviation fuels, revealing a profound reduction when compared to regular jet fuel.
Researchers from the National Center for Atmospheric Science (NCAS), including those from the University of Manchester, compared standard jet fuels with several different blends of sustainable aviation fuel, including fuels supplied by Neste.
They monitored the emissions produced by two different engines, included those used on the FAAM Airborne Laboratory’s BAe-146-301 aircraft using CFS Aero facilities at Hawarden Airport.
