Report Shows Synthetic Jet Fuel Emissions Benefits
While intended to reduce carbon dioixide emissions, the use of sustainable alternative jet fuels is shown to reduce other environmental pollutants as welll

The Transportation Research Board of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has released an FAA-sponsored report on the air quality impact of sustainable alternative jet fuel (SAJF) emissions. SAJFs, or “biofuels,” are synthetically-made fuels intended to reduce carbon dioxide emissions of aircraft that can be used within the existing U.S. fuel distribution system and without making engine modifications. Another main purpose of using SAJFs is to reduce pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, soot, and unburnt hydrocarbons, among others.
