What to know about the latest jet fuel breakthrough
A breakthrough in jet fuel has made it possible to create a new generation of jet fuel that is lighter, greener and better for the environment.
Key points:The breakthrough in the production of jet fuels comes from a unique process that takes place in a labA new type of jet oil, made from the new jet fuel, is now being used in many planesToday’s breakthrough comes from an innovation known as a “jet oil” processThe technology could help fuel planes that are much more efficient in terms of fuel efficiency, according to researchersAt the moment, jet fuel is made from a mixture of water, hydrogen and oxygen.
The process involves the mixture of hydrogen and water being heated in a reactor to make steam.
This process has the advantage of being much cheaper than other forms of jet technology, which use more complex processes.
But, as the cost of jet-fuel has increased, the costs of using it has increased as well.
To make jet fuel more efficient, scientists in France, Germany, Japan and the United States have developed a new method for producing jet fuel using a unique combination of water and oxygen that can produce a new type that is light, greasy and cheaper.
In this process, the hydrogen is first heated to a temperature of about 532 degrees Celsius, which is much hotter than the temperatures of most jet engines.
In the process, hydrogen is combined with water and then mixed with oxygen to form the fuel.
The fuel is then separated from the water and allowed to sit for up to five days at room temperature.
This allows for a much higher efficiency, said Prof. Jean-François Fournier, an expert in chemistry and a co-author of the research.
“The amount of energy is the same, but the chemical reaction is more complex,” he told ABC News.
“In a typical process, it takes about 50 kilograms of water to produce one kilogram of jet gas, so this new process requires the hydrogen to be added a lot more.”
Prof Fourner said that the new process was able to produce a product that was 10 times lighter than the previous generation of fuel, which produced a fuel that was 2,000 times lighter.
“Now, this means that it can be made from much smaller quantities of the same kind of fuel,” he said.
“It can also be made to be more efficient and also more efficient with respect to emissions.”
The research is described in the journal Scientific Reports.
