Objective

The requested 10% share of renewable energy in the transport sector in every EU member state by 2020 and the targeted 40% share of low carbon sustainable fuels in aviation by 2050 will necessitate the technical support for approval and production of new or existing renewable fuel blend stock. JETSCREEN will provide alternative fuel producers and, air framers and aero-engine OEMs with knowledge based screening tools. These tools will assess the compatibility of fuels with respect to the fuel system and the combustion system and will help evaluate the chances of success in an approval process. The JETSCREEN objectives are to develop a screening and optimization platform, which integrates distributed design tools and generic experiments to assess the risks and benefits of alternative fuels, and to optimize alternative fuels for a maximum energy per kilogram of fuel and a reduction of pollutants emissions. As a step prior to the lengthy and costly approval process, screening uses low cost small scale experimental and model-based testing to predict the impact of fuel on selected engine and fuel system components. The methodology is based on deriving predictive tools which capture fuel composition’s effects on properties and sub-processes which have a direct impact on the performance of the fuel system and on the performance and emissions of the combustion system. Moreover, once the sequence of models exists to derive a relationship between fuel composition and sub-system performance then the reverse direction namely optimization is possible; for targeted performance or emission reductions can then be connected to a modification in the fuel formulation. The ambition of the JETSCREEN program is to deliver, for candidate fuels, a certificate of analysis where the key results of the ASTM D4054 approval process are listed. The main innovation would be that the only input is the detailed composition of the candidate fuel and the results come from models and simulation.

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - JETSCREEN (JET Fuel SCREENing and Optimization)

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

The EU has set ambitious targets for at least 40 % of aircraft to be powered by low-carbon sustainable fuels by 2050 as part of broader emissions reduction efforts across the transport sector. Novel fuels will play a significant role in achieving this goal. Such fuels need to be derived from renewable non-fossil sources while meeting stringent aviation safety and performance requirements.
To help establish a sustainable alternative jet fuel (SAJF) industry in Europe, JETSCREEN is developing tools and methods to screen and assess alternative fuels using small-scale, low-cost experimental testing and advanced computer-modelling techniques. The goal is to reduce the substantial investment needed to seek approval for a new alternative fuel under the ASTM D4054 international standardisation process, a rigorous procedure that complies with the aviation industry’s very high safety requirements.
The ultimate aim of the JETSCREEN project is to use the tools and methods to provide candidate fuels with a certificate of analysis containing key data that can assist the approval process. This would reduce the risks for fuel producers and investors in deciding to launch an application for approval of a new fuel type or blend, supporting innovation in the jet fuel sector, which is dominated by large oil- and technology-licensing companies that can afford the high costs involved.
The JETSCREEN approach is also set to contribute to the future design of fuel-flexible components for aircraft. It will lay the foundations for further research into methods that would optimise fuel and aircraft systems to achieve even greater reductions in emissions, as well as improvements in fuel performance and sustainability (as stated in Streamlining the development of sustainable aircraft fuels, EC success stories).
