“…The physical and chemical properties of any new jet fuel produced from biomass need to be carefully characterized before the fuels are certified for operation. Both the carbon chain length and the relative content of the four families of hydrocarbons detailed above are carefully controlled to provide the jet fuel with desired properties [10,11]. In this sense, jet fuels must have high flash points (to reduce fire hazard on board), low freeze points (to ensure good cold flow properties at high altitudes), high energy density (to minimize fuel storage room), and good sealing properties (to avoid fuel leakage on board), among others.…”

Concerns about depleting fossil fuels and global warming effects are pushing our society to search for new renewable sources of energy with the potential to substitute coal, natural gas, and petroleum. In this sense, biomass, the only renewable source of carbon available on Earth, is the perfect replacement for petroleum in producing renewable fuels. The aviation sector is responsible for a significant fraction of greenhouse gas emissions, and two billion barrels of petroleum are being consumed annually to produce the jet fuels required to transport people and goods around the world. Governments are pushing directives to replace fossil fuel-derived jet fuels with those derived from biomass. The present mini review is aimed to summarize the main technologies available today for converting biomass into liquid hydrocarbon fuels with a molecular weight and structure suitable for being used as aviation fuels. Particular emphasis will be placed on those routes involving heterogeneous catalysts.

Aviation industry is one of the main contributors and fastest-growing sectors in the world economy. Fuel consumption from this industry is one of the major issues that have drawn the attention of both professionals and researchers in recent years. The high dependency along with the high consumption of aviation fuel on petroleum plays a crucial role in environmental degradation due to increased carbon dioxide and other emissions, as well as in the increasing rate of fossil fuel depletion. Therefore, various potential technologies have been developed and further investigated to produce alternative aviation fuels, especially biofuels. In this article, principles, sustainability, and main concerns of different alternative aviation fuel processing technologies, with some focus on biofuels, are discussed in challenges and possible remedies. The major ecological problems connected with the application of conventional jet fuels in contrast to The advantages of biofuels implementation in the aviation industry are also highlighted. This work is aimed to show the state of the art of current alternative aviation fuels, their production technologies, and the potentiality of replacing the conventional jet fuel.

“…In recent years, catalytic conversion of ethanol into hydrocarbons has attracted considerable attention, since that alcohol can be used as a green raw material capable of providing an alternative route to produce a great range of valuable chemicals for the petrochemical industry [1][2][3][4]. In this context, the obtaining of light olefins and BTEX aromatics (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes) from alcohols have attracted notable attention, since the alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) technology can provide a renewable route to obtain kerosene from light alcohols, such as ethanol and butanol [5,6].…”

The ethanol conversion into hydrocarbons (light olefins and aromatics) using alkali-treated HZSM-5 with different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios (23, 38, and 53) zeolites was evaluated. The desilicated SAR 38 zeolite exhibited significant growth on the external surface area (61–212 m2/g) and the mesopore volume (0.07–0.37 cm3/g) without significate reduction on XRD crystallinity (93%). All catalysts were active on the ethanol conversion into hydrocarbons. At the same set of variables, the alkali-treated HZSM-5 zeolites showed a better conversion and a high selectivity to C4–C9 hydrocarbons when compared to the parent microporous zeolites. Only the parent HZSM-5 zeolite (SAR 53) was chosen for the statistical study using the standard response surface methodology in combination with the central composite design. It was found that maximum BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) and minimum ethylene production were reached for the following conditions: temperature 450 °C, pressure 20 bar, and WHSV (weight hourly space velocity) 5 h−1.
