[Development of bio-jet fuel production technology: a review].

Due to the large amount of greenhouse gas emissions and the high dependence on fossil fuels, the sustainable development of aviation industry has attracted worldwide attention. Bio-jet fuel is considered to be a promising alternative to traditional aviation fuel. This article summarizes the representative technological route, development status, opportunities and challenges faced by the development of bio-jet fuel industry. So far, several bio-jet fuel production technologies have been certified by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids is currently the most mature process that can be fully commercialized. Considering economic characteristics and technology maturity, Fischer-Tropsch is promising in near term.
