• Abstract:
  The need for rapid mitigation of climate change and aviation-related emissions has been the driving force behind the development and deployment of alternative jet fuels (AJFs). Research efforts have mainly focused on hydrocarbons (and their blends) derived from non-petroleum feedstocks, designed to act as a direct replacement for conventional distillate jet fuels in existing engine/aircraft systems. A key challenge associated with the current AJF approval process is the need for rigorous tests to ensure the safe operability and performance of these fuels, often requiring large volumes of the novel fuel candidates. Cetane number is one of the fuel properties that is important for characterizing AJFs due to its practical relevance as an ignition quality measure.
