项目摘要

A thriving aviation sector sits at the heart of the UK's vision for a global and connected Britain. Aviation and aerospace contribute more than £22bn a year to the UK economy. R&D in electric and hybrid aircraft technology is essential in the journey to decarbonise aviation, but will be realised initially in short haul travel. Medium and long-haul aircraft, where the majority of carbon emissions are produced, will remain dependent on liquid fuel for the foreseeable future.The aviation sector demands a fuel of high quality to cope with the extreme conditions experienced in flight around the globe, and thus requires governmental and multilateral organisations to work closely together to ensure safety across the whole sector. This rigour means that the industry has several self-regulating bodies controlling the specification of fuel, principally ASTM International based in the US and the Aviation Fuels Committee, run by the UK MOD and the Energy Institute. The focus on safety has meant that the fuel used by the sector has not changed substantially since the 1960's, despite significant advances in the engine and airframe energy efficiencies. The NewJet Network+ would seek overcome the industry "inertia" by taking a longer term and more strategic view than is currently in place within the specification community.The NewJet Network+ will explore the advantages to commercial aviation offered by the increasing levels of low carbon, synthetic fuel production beyond the existing fuel specification. The network will create a forum (free from commercial restraints that would limit freedom of forward and more strategic thinking) where an exploration of a new jet fuel specification for 2040 and beyond can be investigated. It will specifically focus on the improved properties of synthetic fuels over conventionally refined, fossil fuel feedstocks. Building on the present model of developing synthetic fuels to mimic the behaviour of conventional fuels, the goal of NewJet is to provide new understanding and insights into the benefits and barriers to a new fuel specification by 2040. The outcome of NewJet will be a virtual centre of excellence linking the chemical properties of a fuel to improved performance properties in flight. We believe that intervention at a whole system level will help provide a platform for discussions as to the possible benefits of a new fuel specification for conventional and alternative fuels - in terms of CO2 reductions, but also more widely, the non-CO2 benefits, performance and cost of ownership.

蓬勃发展的航空业是英国实现全球化、互联互通的英国愿景的核心。航空和航天每年为英国经济贡献超过220亿英镑。电动和混合动力飞机技术的研发对于航空脱碳至关重要，但最初将在短途旅行中实现。在可预见的未来，中远程飞机仍将依赖液体燃料，而大部分的碳排放都是在中远程飞机上产生的。航空业需要高质量的燃料来科普地球仪飞行中的极端条件，因此需要政府和多边组织密切合作，以确保整个行业的安全。这种严格性意味着该行业有几个自我监管机构控制燃料的规格，主要是美国的ASTM国际和航空燃料委员会，由英国国防部和能源研究所管理。对安全性的关注意味着自20世纪60年代以来，尽管发动机和机身能源效率取得了重大进展，但该部门使用的燃料没有发生实质性变化。NewJet Network+将寻求克服行业的“惯性”，采取比目前规范界更长远和更具战略性的观点。NewJet Network+将探索低碳合成燃料生产水平的提高对商业航空的优势，超越现有的燃料规范。该网络将创建一个论坛（不受限制前瞻性和更具战略性思维自由的商业限制），在那里可以探索2040年及以后的新喷气燃料规格。它将特别关注合成燃料相对于传统精炼化石燃料原料的改进性能。基于目前开发合成燃料以模拟传统燃料行为的模型，NewJet的目标是到2040年为新燃料规范的好处和障碍提供新的理解和见解。NewJet的成果将是一个虚拟的卓越中心，将燃料的化学特性与飞行性能的改善联系起来。我们认为，在整个系统层面的干预将有助于提供一个平台，讨论传统和替代燃料的新燃料规格可能带来的好处-在减少二氧化碳方面，以及更广泛的非二氧化碳好处，性能和拥有成本。
