<p>Near-term decarbonization of aviation requires energy-dense, renewable liquid fuels. Biomass-
derived 1,4-dimethylcyclooctane (DMCO), a cyclic alkane with a volumetric net heat of
combustion up to 9.2% higher than Jet-A, has the potential to serve as a low-carbon, high-
performance jet fuel blendstock that may enable paraffinic bio-jet fuels to operate without
aromatic compounds. DMCO can be produced from bio-derived isoprenol (3-methyl-3-buten-1-
ol) th… Show more
