1 Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative November 18, 2013 Subtitle Nate Brown Alternative Jet Fuel Project Manager Federal Aviation Administration

2 2 Why Do The Airlines Want Alternative Jet Fuels?  Airline Economics  Surging Fuel Expense Offsetting Labor Restructuring  Fuel Price Volatility a challenge to business  Fuel Supply Security  Reliance on Imported Oil  Disruptions to fuel supply (e.g. Hurrican Katrina)  Demand from Other Transportation Modes  Concern about Carbon Emissions  Industry and ICAO goals for Global market based measures  Regional GHG Emissions Trading Schemes Nate Brown, FAA/CAAFI – 18 November, 2013

3 3 How Does Aviation Meet Its Targets? Technology, Fuels, Operations & Infrastructure airlines.org Ongoing Fleet Renewal / Technology Development ATC/NowGen/ Operational Improvements Renewable Fuels (lifecycle basis) Forecasted Emissions Growth Absent Reduction Measures Baseline CO 2 Emissions 2050 Carbon Neutral Growth and Reduction Timeline Notional Example Potential Role for Carbon Credits to Bridge Potential role for carbon credits Key Contributor

4 4 How Do Renewable Fuels Offset Greenhouse Gases? GHGs Life Cycle Analyses (LCA) Petroleum-Derived Jet Fuel Bio-Derived Jet Fuel Nate Brown, FAA/CAAFI – 18 November, 2013
