Hong Lu, a research scientist at ISTC, said the project for UHV Technologies was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Lu and ISTC colleagues, research scientists Nandakishore Rajagopalan and Jaemin Kim, completed a report on the research this summer.<\/p>\n<p>For the study, non-foam types of polystyrene \u2014 a category of plastics \u2014 was depolymerized to produce an aromatics-rich crude oil and then blended with synthetic paraffinic kerosene, also called SPK. The resulting fuel had improved aviation fuel properties including a higher density, lower viscosity, lower freezing point, and improved O-ring seal swelling. The findings have the potential to remove a major hurdle for sustainable aviation fuel \u2014 some synthetic paraffinic kerosene does not meet the specifications for aviation fuel \u2014 and increase the availability of sustainable aviation fuel as an alternative.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Department of Energy and other federal government agencies have outlined a Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge, with goals including to domestically supply three billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel per year by 2030 and 100% of projected annual domestic commercial jet fuel use by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.illinois.edu\/view\/7447\/1956692034\">Prairie Research Institute<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-593\/\">Waste plastic can improve sustainable aviation fuel, researchers find<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1547,575,1743,16118],"class_list":["post-133762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-aviation","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fuel","tag-waste-plastic"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133762\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
