Abstract:

The Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation (GREET) model was expanded to include aviation fuel production pathways and aircraft operations, allowing researchers to examine the environmental sustainability of various alternative aviation fuels. This report documents the expansion of the model to evaluate the life-cycle energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the production of jet fuel alternatives for various types and classes of aircraft. Life-cycle analysis (LCA) includes all stages in a product’s life — from the extraction of raw materials through the materials’ processing, manufacture, distribution, use, and disposal or recycling. For this analysis, we account for all the stages in the life cycle of aviation fuels, including feedstock recovery and transportation, fuel production and transportation, and fuel consumption in an aircraft. The exploration and recovery activities from the well to fuel production and the subsequent transportation to the pump constitute the well-to-pump (WTP) stage. The combustion of fuel during aircraft operation constitutes the pump-to-wake (PTWa) stage. These two stages combined comprise the well-to-wake (WTWa) fuel cycle.
