Abstract
The study is devoted to evaluation of exhaust gases
emissions from aircrafts using conventional oil-derived jet fuel
and alternative jet fuels, obtained by blending of conventional
fuel with plant oil bio-additives. The evaluation was done by
calculation of emission indexes of carbon dioxide, water vapor,
sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide and calculation of emission levels
of each pollutant in a result of one standard landing – take-off
cycle. In a result of the study it was found that samples of
alternative jet fuels blended with plant oil bio-additives are
characterized by lower emission level comparing to conventional
jet fuels. These alternative jet fuels may also provide reduction of
total emissions levels. Thus it was concluded that application of
alternative jet fuels containing plant oil bio-additives may
contribute to improvement of environmental safety of modern air
transport.
