How do we make sustainable aviation fuel?

There are many ways to produce SAF. And yes, you can help too by collecting your used cooking oil by example!
Do you have some chemical memories? Watch this last video to understand the mechanism of production!

Thank you. Nice explanation.

Here in the states most plastics (70% or more,) placed into recycling bins, never go to an actual recycling center. Those tons of waste plastics are then loaded onto cargo ships bound for nations with little or no environmental protection. All that plastic is then burned, buried, or thrown into the ocean. Almost all of that wasted plastic is derived from petroleum, which has had most of the nasty compounds and chemicals like Sulphur removed in order for the plastics to be clear. That petro oil is then polymerized to produce water bottles, dvd cases, dashboards, and millions of other products. But petroleum derived plastics can be converted back into oil, through a process of pyrolysis. This is where the plastics are loaded into a vessel like a drum, where all the air inside is pumped out and purged with an inert gas like nitrogen. The plastics are then heated passed the point where they would burn, and without oxygen, instead of a fire the polymer chains begin to break. What your left with is petroleum oil that can be refined into diesel, kerosene, gasoline etc... These liquid hydrocarbon fuels will burn far cleaner than anything currently available at a gas station because as I said the petroleum oil was initially cleaned before being used to make the plastics. Think of how much plastic waste is generated in one day, for whatever location you're in, and realize that instead of shipping it to some third world nation who's "leader" has been paid to take this trash, we could using it in addition to other carbon neutral sources to lower fuel costs across the board, for aviation, automobiles, home heating etc... And this would allow ev manufacturers the time to develop their technology into products that surpasses the internal combustion powered world we live in

Where is this oil factory?

Parece facil pero no es, antes de poner un combustible en el avion debe pasar por 16 analisis y salir bien, porqe sino debe ser desechado. Y si un avion se estrella por cuaalquier causa se le haran esos analisis a la planta que lo produce y si algo esta fuera en ese momento, a alguien le espera la carcel y la ruina.

I hope you will use nuclear to heat this lol. And not GAZ!

WTF are you talking about.
You sound like you just got drunk at a bar.

[@andrewtschesnok5582]

How many flights could a company like Mc Donnald's supply per day? 3? What is the fossil fuel savings? 10%? I understand that anything "helps" so perhaps my comment is more about the video which is just assumes we are stupid.

You can make hydrogen as far away from me as possible please. Man made jet fuel cost the USA Navy 28 dollars a litre no thanks.

So how much energy is used to make SAF. What a joke just to make people feel good about themselves.

[@matthewbaynham6286]

So it's just as bad for the environment as regular fuel, except someone would have been able to cook some fish and chips with it first.

[@mariuszkonieczny3393]

No, SAF carboon footprint is lower then regular Jet A1. It's still not perfect and not a long term solution but it's a step in a good way.

[@maxvanderstricht1159]

there's much less sulfur and nitrogen containing compounds in SAF aswell. CO2 levels in the exhaust are considerably lower.

@@matthewbaynham6286 I am a master student chemical engineering at Vrije Universiteit Brussel and currently writing my master thesis on the removal of hydrogen chloride from hydrogen gas. I have had a number of courses concerning green chemistry. My love for aviation and innovation has led me to research the topic greatly. I am also writing a piece on greener fuels for aviation as part of my literature study. What I stated is not nonsense. I would love to add url's to published scientific papers, but youtube doesn't allow that. You can do that yourself if you wish. Try Sciencedirect; look for sustainable aviation fuel and just read the abstracts of stuff you find; you will be surprised my friend.
