“…The broadest research of bioliquids in MGT was performed in commercial systems, which were not primarily designed for high efficiency stationary and decentralized power generation rather being mostly derived from APU units, small jet engines or field gensets for military use. These are: [62]  Artouste MK113 APU [34]  Model jet engine, Sr-30 [63] Listed studies addressed wide spectra of vegetable oils, waste greases and biodiesels blended in different blending ratios with D2 or kerosene. The employed approach usually consisted of start-up with conventional fuel followed by switching to a tested bioliquid.…”

Increased public concerns and stricter regulatory frameworks promote the role of bioliquids (liquid fuel for energy purposes other than for transport, including electricity and heating and cooling, produced from biomass). This is a driving force for development and employment of micro-gas turbines (MGTs) due to their ability to combust bioliquids with less favorable properties in a decentralized manner. Gas turbines are characterized by relatively high combustion efficiency at relatively low concentrations of harmful emissions, relatively high effective efficiency and durability when utilizing a common portfolio of gas turbine approved fuels. It is thus desired to preserve these advantages of gas turbines also while burning bioliquids and further relying on their scalability that is crucial to efficient support of decentralized energy production at small scales. To support these objectives, MGT technology needs to allow for utilization of bioliquids with much wider spectrum of physical and chemical properties compared to common commercially available MGTs in a single MGT-based plant. In this view, the present study is providing the first thorough overview of challenges and solutions encountered by researchers across the wide area of bioliquids in MGTs.

“…Experiments and simulations were conducted to investigate the performance of the Armfield CM4 turbojet engine with palm oil methyl ester biodiesel (PME) and its blends with Jet-A1 fuel 76 . Biodiesel blend with 20% PME shows a comparable level of performance as compared to that of Jet-A1 fuel, especially in terms of thrust and thermal efficiency.…”

According to Energy Outlook 2019 published by the US Energy information administration, aviation fuel consumption is expected to be more than double by the year 2050 as compared to the current usage. The increased cost of petroleum fuels and growing environmental concerns have made the aviation industry rely on biofuel in their fuel usage. Non-edible crops and algae are mainly used as feedstock for jet fuel production. There are many technologies such as blending Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME), lipid hydroprocessing, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, upgrading pyrolysis oils, Hydrothermal Liquefaction for jet biofuel production. However, sustainable production of jet biofuel is still under research. The current paper discusses the opportunities and challenges with these technologies.

This paper proposes a study regarding the use of bioethanol as fuel for turbine engines used in aviation. For this purpose, three blends of 5, 10, and 15% concentrations of bioethanol mixed with Jet A fuel were tested on JET CAT P80 microturbo engine. During the engine testing, the following parameters were monitored: engine speed, generated force, temperature in front of the turbine, fuel volumetric flow rate, and vibration levels measured both on axial and radial direction. The tests were performed by maintaining the microturbo engine for about 1 min at three operating regimes: idle, cruise, and maximum speed. In addition, a comparative analysis between fuels for a test with the microturbo engine from the idle position to maximum position is presented. After the tests were conducted, a jet engine cycle analysis was performed at the max regime and the fuel specific consumption, the efficiency of the combustion chamber, and the thermal efficiency of the engine for each fuel blend were calculated. The tests were made without making any modifications to the engine components or automation system.
