5.1 Supporting Material to Evaluate
Potential Environmental Benefits
of Alternative Jet Fuels
The main potential environmental benefits of alternative jet fuels considered here are life-cycle
greenhouse gas and particulate matter (PM2.5) emission reductions compared to conventional
jet fuel (see Sections 2.4 and 3.5.2). The information provided in Table 4 and Figure 7 can be
used for initial evaluation of both potential effects. For more details on this data, please refer to
Appendix E.
Another useful resource for quantifying PM2.5 benefits is currently in development through
ACRP Project 02-23, "Alternative Fuels as a Means to Reduce PM2.5 Emissions at Airports." Please
check the ACRP website for the status of this project at http://apps.trb.org/cmsfeed/TRBNet
