Energy and exergy prices of the jet kerosene fuel with carbon emission equivalents for an aircraft used in the air transport sector in Turkey

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the energy and exergy prices and carbon emission equivalents of the jet kerosene (Jet A-1) fuel considering 12 months data for the air transport sector in Turkey. Design/methodology/approach In the selection of the energy resources, one of the most important factors besides the need is the price of the energy resources. To use and save the energy resources efficiently, the prices should be evaluated in terms of exergy too. In this context, the exergy prices and carbon emission equivalents of the jet kerosene fuel have been examined. Findings According to analysis results, after January 2020, a steady decline in energy prices has been obtained until April 2020. In this regard, directly proportional changes have been obtained in exergy prices. The minimum exergy price of the fuel is calculated as 74.36 US cents/kWh for April 2020, while the maximum exergy price of the fuel is calculated as 150.02 US cents/kWh for September 2019. The minimum exergy price based carbon emission equivalents for the jet kerosene fuel is determined as 1,099.98 US cents/kg for April 2020, while the maximum exergy price based carbon emission equivalents for the jet kerosene fuel is found to be 2,219.29 US cents/kg for September 2019. Originality/value The new contribution has been made to the open literature by examining the energy and exergy prices of the jet kerosene fuel. In addition, the carbon emission equivalents of the jet kerosene fuel have been determined not only energy but also exergy methods.

Multi-objective Optimization Method of Manufacturing Carbon Emissions Based on Firefly Algorithm

“…Due to limitations in the collection and reporting of statistical data, there may be missing or incomplete data, which in turn affects the accuracy and reliability of the model. The literature [2] evaluates the energy and effective energy price of jet kerosene fuel required by aircraft used in Türkiye's air transport field, taking into account the carbon emission equivalence of the fuel. By analyzing 12 months of data, the effective energy price of fuel and the carbon emissions equivalent based on the effective energy price were calculated.…”

Empirical analysis of the impact of China’s carbon emissions trading policy using provincial-level data

“…Carbon emissions trading policy represents crucial practice in the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, as it utilizes market mechanisms to incentivize emission reductions and promote sustainable development (Cao et al 2021;Zhang and Wu 2022;Jiang et al 2022). The utilization of market-oriented mechanisms for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions represents a significant institutional advancement in promoting low-carbon development, which is conducive to overcoming the constraints posed by resources and the environment (Yildiz and Caliskan 2021;Kumar et al 2022). From the initiation of the pilot carbon emissions trading scheme in 2013 to the establishment of a nationally unified carbon emissions trading market in 2021, carbon emissions trading policy has exhibited positive implications for environmental regulation in China (Qxab et al 2022).…”

Carbon emission monitoring model of digital power grid user side based on cloud platform

“…In order to solve the bottleneck problem of power production in some provinces and fill the power gap [4] , relevant development regions have optimized the internal resource structure, updated the resource allocation, and fundamentally improved the efficiency of power use. With the aggravation of global environmental pollution, China has proposed the "Double Carbon" Development Goal [5] , which aims to use clean energy instead of traditional chemical energy and reduce the total carbon emissions.…”
