“…Technologies such as the hydrothermal liquefaction of algae and the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using lignocellulosic biomass are being developed to increase the sustainability and efficiency of feedstock conversion. Innovations in genetic engineering and agronomic practices are also improving the yields and reducing the environmental impacts of these crops [64].…”

“…Challenges in scalability often stem from feedstock availability, transportation logistics, and production capacity. A diverse range of feedstocks, such as algae, agricultural residues, and non-food crops, can improve scalability by reducing reliance on a single source [64]. Developing robust supply chains involves addressing logistical issues related to feedstock transportation, storage, and distribution.…”

This comprehensive review examines the role of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) in promoting a more environmentally responsible aviation industry. This study explores various types of biofuels, including hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFAs), Fischer–Tropsch (FT) fuels, alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) fuels, and oil derived from algae. Technological advancements in production and processing have enabled SAF to offer significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants, contributing to a cleaner environment and better air quality. The review addresses the environmental, economic, and technical benefits of SAF, as well as the challenges associated with their adoption. Lifecycle analyses are used to assess the net environmental benefits of SAF, with a focus on feedstock sustainability, energy efficiency, and potential impacts on biodiversity and land use. Challenges such as economic viability, scalability, and regulatory compliance are discussed, with emphasis on the need for supportive policies and international collaboration to ensure the long-term sustainability of SAF. This study also explores current applications of SAF in commercial airlines and military settings, highlighting successful case studies and regional differences driven by policy frameworks and government incentives. By promoting technological innovation and addressing regulatory and economic barriers, SAF has the potential to play a crucial role in the aviation industry’s transition toward sustainability.

“…An increase in concentration means an increase in methyl radicals so the possibility of forming short-chain alkanes also increases. The formation of a shorter alkane compound is characterized by a decrease in density which results in an increase in the o API gravity of the product (Baidoo et al, 2022). o API gravity can predict the characteristics of other fuel oils, including K factor, and Net Heating Value (NHV) (Yamamoto et al, 2006) By obtaining the o API gravity, it can predict a similar trend in the graphs for the K factor and Net Heating Value (NHV) since o API gravity has an associated relationship among NHV, and K factor (Nurdin et al, 2022;Yamamoto et al, 2006).…”

Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is a potential feedstock for biokerosene. However, it is problematic when used directly because it is gummy, has a high viscosity and is degradable. Various conversion processes have been conducted that directly convert CPO into biokerosene, but it requires high temperature and pressure. Therefore, as a novelty, this study aims to develop the technology for converting triglycerides into biokerosene under relatively low operating conditions and producing similar petroleum kerosene by electrolysis-assisted and electromagnetic induction. In this study, the conversion technology process was conducted in three steps (i) converting triglycerides to Free Fatty Acids (FFA), (ii) converting FFA to alkanes, and (iii) converting alkanes to biokerosene. Step (ii) is assisted by the electrolysis process, meanwhile, step (iii) is assisted by electromagnetic irradiation. The finding showed that electrolysis obtained 73.47% yield of alkanes and electromagnetic irradiation obtained 78.02% yield of biokerosene. Biokerosene is almost close to kerosene-based petroleum in terms of colour Saybolt, flash point and Net Heating Value. The findings of this study may provide an alternate technology approach for biokerosene synthesis and solution kerosene scarcity.

“…Petroleum oil, natural gas, and coal are the main forms of nonrenewable fossil fuels used to generate energy around the world [ 4 ]. Nevertheless, such fuels include the release of carbon dioxide (CO2), It increases the adverse effects of releases of greenhouse gases, leading to climate change and global warming [ 5 , 6 ].…”
