Abstract:

The primary aim of this study is to help aviation jet fuel purchasers (primarily commercial airlines and the U.S. military) to understand the sustainability implications of their jet fuel purchases and provide guidelines for procuring sustainable fuels. This study reviews literature on life cycle analysis and sustainability and identifies the regulatory requirements and third party standards for sustainable fuel use in different regions of the world. It also provides guidance in understanding the life cycle GHG emissions impacts of jet fuels, and defining guidelines for estimating the sustainability implications of criteria other than life cycle GHG emissions such as water use, land use, criteria pollutants, air toxics, biodiversity and a number of other issues as noted throughout this report.
