Abstract

The usage of jet fuel has been increasing with increasing passenger and logistics movements under globalization. CO2, which is the main global warming gas from aircraft, was charged about 3.5% of total global CO2 emissions and 12% of transportation fuel emissions. For these reasons, a lot of governments and the international civil aviation organization (ICAO) are trying to reduce CO2 emissions via the introduction of bio-jet fuel. In this paper, we showed the jet fuel properties, specifications, and presentative production methods of bio-jet fuel such as alcohol to jet (ATJ), oil to jet (OTJ), gas to jet (GTJ) and sugar to jet (STJ). Also, we described the status of global and domestic bio-jet fuel usage and the policy plan for efficient distribution.

글로벌화 추세에 따라 항공기를 이용한 승객 및 물류이동이 증가하고 있으며, 이로 인해 항공유 사용량 역시 매년 증가하고 있다. 항공기로부터 발생되는 온실가스인 CO2는 전세계에서 발생되는 CO2의 약 3.5%를 차지하고 있으며, 수송용 연료에서 발생하는 CO2의 약 12%를 차지할 정도로 높은 비중을 차지하고 있다. 이에 따라서 많은 국가와 국제민간항공기구(ICAO) 등에서는 바이오항공유를 도입함으로써 CO2 저감을 위한 노력을 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 항공유의 연료적 특성 및 품질기준과 함께 바이오항공유의 대표적 생산방법으로 ATJ, OTJ, GTJ, STJ에 대해 기술하였다. 또한 국내·외 바이오항공유에 대한 사용현황과 보급활성화에 대한 방안을 제시하였다.
