Sustainable aviation fuels have the potential to make an essential contribution to decarbonizing the aviation sector and play an important role in strengthening the circular bioeconomy. This book presents recent advances and challenges in sustainable aviation fuel, with contributions from a global group of industry experts exploring alternative fuel technologies, feedstocks and conversion processes, combustion performance and emissions, and the technical and environmental challenges of implementing the use of alternative fuels for aviation. The book presents sustainability assessments, including techno-economic analyses and lifecycle assessments on developing sustainable aviation fuels from renewable sources, mainly from second and third-generation biomass feedstocks.

Sustainable Aviation Fuels: Recent Advances and Future Challenges provides an excellent overview of

the aviation and green energy sectors and is an invaluable resource for researchers and industry

practitioners working on commercially viable sustainable aviation fuels. The book will also provide a

foundation for graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and professionals working in the

broader fields of sustainable energy.

Biorefineries are increasingly important in providing sustainable routes to the oil industry. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of biocrude biorefinery to convert biocrude into environmentally friendly fuels and high-value-added products.

It begins by discussing the biorefinery concept with its fundamentals and biocrude biorefinery as a sustainable solution for bioenergy and the green economy, explaining the chemistry and reaction mechanism behind biocrude production and analysing the different feedstocks, including lignocellulosic biomass, for biocrude production, recent developments and associated challenges.

The second part focuses on waste oils and liquid wastes for sustainable biocrude oil production in a biorefinery approach, as well as on 3rd generation of biorefinery feedstocks (algal biomass) as emerging feedstock for biocrude oil production and high-value products in biorefineries and biocrude oil derived from municipal and industrial organic wastes in the framework of a waste biorefinery concept. Furthermore, bio-oil constitutes a promising energy source for future hydrogen production as well as for the catalytic conversion of crude bio-oil into environmentally friendly transport fuels. The physicochemical and analytical techniques used for the analysis of crude bio-oil with fuel properties and international standards, as well as microbial production and its future applications are also covered.

This book will be of great interest to practitioners, graduate students, researchers and policymakers involved in crude bio-oil biorefineries for sustainable development. This book also explores the relationship between biofuels and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7. Furthermore, the book lays a solid foundation for the establishment of crude bio-oil-based biorefineries and thus contributes to a sustainable, cleaner, greener and livable blue planet for the next generations. Crude bio-oil is likely to be the "green gold" of the biorefinery of the future and this book will be a milestone for biorefineries.
