EU Emissions Trading Scheme


Directive 2008/101/EC passed 19th November 2009, amending Directive 2003/87/EC to include aviation activities in the scheme for GHG allowance trading within the Community For Aviation Covers all flights departing and/or arriving at a Member State airport Historical aviation emissions for each airline mean average of emissions from 2004, 2005 & 2006 From Jan 2012 to Dec 2012, the allowance shall be 97% of the historical average From Jan 2013 onwards the allowance shall be 95% of the historical average The emission factor for biomass shall be zero i.e. biofuels used do not count as emitting any GHGs Non-compliance i.e. failure to submit records, could result in fine of 100/tonne of CO2 Airlines estimate that ETS could add as much as $18/barrel to fuel cost

Variable Cash Cost of Production estimated at $2.80 - $3.00/gal of SPK

- Assumes feedstock cost of $2.00 to 2.20/gal - Assumes $70/bbl of crude oil - Excludes subsidies and tax incentives
CCOP is currently 50% higher than fossil jet fuel

- If airline needs 20% substitution, total fuel bill rises by 10% (~$0.20/gal) - In line with EU calculation that airline will need to pay $0.20-0.50/gal extra to
purchase carbon credits

Less expensive than Carbon Trading and/or BTL

Alternative Technology Routes


Solid Biomass Gasification SynGas Fischer Tropsch Hydrocracking/ Dewaxing Transport Fuels

BTL; demo scale production quantities have been difficult to achieve thus far

- Only CTL and GTL equivalent fuels have been made to meet specs
(with potential negative LCA effect from this approach)

BTL plant would be 4 8 times more Capex for same capacity compared with UOP Renewable Jet process BTL variable production cost expected to be similar to UOP Renewable Jet Process

BTL more capital intensive for same product

Performance and operability testing of BioSPK is similar to that of jet fuel


Specific Fuel Consumption: The Bio-SPK blends show an improvement when compared to jet fuel, consistent with the heat of combustion increase. Lean Blow Out margin: Comparisons were made between typical jet fuel and the Bio-SPK blends, showing equivalent performance. Engine starts: Under both cold-soaked and warm thermal state conditions, no significant changes were noted in start times or in peak starting exhaust gas temperature. Light off delay: The time interval between introduction of fuel into the combustor and fuel ignition was compared, with no significant changes noted. Acceleration response: No significant changes in engine acceleration response time or peak EGT were noted during acceleration tests. All phases of flight, including In-Flight Restart: No significant changes were noted for the use of the Bio-SPK blends for all 3 aircraft flight tests. Boroscope Inspections: No significant engine deterioration changes were noted from comparing pre- and post-flight boroscope analyses.
