Transcription

1 Alternative/Renewable Fuels Panel Discussion- Industry Leadership CAAFI Perspectives Steve Csonka Executive Director, CAAFI First flight from continuous commercial production of SAJF, 10Mar 16. Fuel from AltAir Fuels, Paramount, CA (HEFA-SPK 30/70 Blend) Now being delivered to LAX fuel farm for everyone s upload 12Apr 17

2 Overall industry summary: Sustainable Alternative Jet Fuel (SAJF) activity SAJF are key for meeting industry s commitments Aviation enterprise aligned; SAJF delivers multiple benefits Segment knows how to make it; Activities from FRL 1 to 9 Significant work on pilot, demo, and commercial production Commercial agreements being pursued Pathway identified for fully synthetic (50% max blend today) CAAFI originally put in place to work a full range of Public- Private Partnership activities to break down barriers and lower risk: foster, catalyze, enable, facilitate, participate Making progress, but still significant challenges only modest production focus on enabling commercial viability Potential for acceleration a function of engagement & success replication 31 March

3 Progress via cooperative R&DDD efforts Directly and through several PPPs Feedstock Production Feedstock Logistics Fuel Conversion Conversion Process Scaleup/Integration Fuel Testing/Approval Fuel Performance Environment Assmt Enable Production End User/ Buyer USDA: BCAP & CIP, Feedstock Development Center Grants, AFRI/NIFA Caps, ARS DOE: FS&L, BRCs ARPA-E: PETRO, TERRA, pheno- DOE & DOD: R&D grants USDA & DOE: R&D grants, IBR FAA & DOD: C/Q Fuel testing FAA, DOD, & NASA: Enviro Analysis USDA, USN, & DOE: Defense Production Act and Biorefinery Program DOD/DLA & Airlines: fuel purchase FAA: Guidance for Airports EPA: Renewable Fuel Standard 31 March

4 Federal Alternative Jet Fuel R&D Strategy Outlines significant body of work remaining to be done A Strategy released by the White House s NSTC, through the OSTP s Committee on Technology, and the ASTS Designed to augment the goals in the National Aeronautics R&D Plan Energy & Environment: Goal #1: Enable new aviation fuels derived from diverse and domestic resources to improve fuel supply security and price stability An activity 3 years in the making, led by an Alternative Jet Fuel Interagency Working Group chaired by NASA and FAA Included the collaboration of 10 agencies, and the involvement of the SAJF enterprise in defining R&D gaps and needs 82 specific goals in multiple categories and timeframes, attributed to the various agencies involved 31 March

5 SAJF offtake agreements Beyond numerous demonstration programs neat quantities 5 M gpy from yr agreement 30/70 blend 3 yr agreement Enabling LAX flts 375M usg M gpy Over 10 yrs 50 M gpy Over 10 yrs 3 M gpy each going into Bay Area, CA 31 March

6 SAJF offtake agreements Beyond numerous demonstration programs neat quantities 48 A350 deliveries 10% blend 10M gpy, 10 yrs Up to 40M gal Over 5 yrs (MOU) (Bioport on demand) (Salvage MSW work?) (HBE defunct, focus on new engagement) 31 March

7 Approved SAJF approved production pathways Annexes to ASTM D7566: D1655 fuel following blending Syngas FT (FT-SPK) Hydroprocessed lipids (HEFA-SPK) Biochem sugars (HFS-SIP) Syngas FT w/ aromatic alkylation (FT-SPK/A) Isobutanol conversion (ATJ-SPK) 50% max blend 50% max blend 10% max blend 50% max blend 30% max blend Commercialization for each in development, in some cases by multiple parties who would use licensing Entities may not achieve commercialization for several years following approval 31 March
