biokerosene provision.
Subsequent chapters discuss those fuel provision processes that
are already available and those still under development based on
various biomass feedstock materials, and present e.g. an overview
of the current state of the art in the production of a liquid
biomass-based fuel fulfilling the specifications for kerosene.
Further, given the growing interest of the aviation industry and
airlines in biofuels for aviation, the experiences of an
air-carrier are presented. In closing, the book provides a market
outlook for biokerosene. Addressing a broad range of aspects
related to the pros and cons of biokerosene as a renewable fuel
for aviation, the book offers a unique resource.
