Fuel Readiness Level (FRL) table

CAAFI has developed the FRL table to classify and track the progress on research & development, certification, demonstration activities, and the supply of alternative jet fuels.

Prescreening of synthesised hydrocarbons intended for candidates as blending components for aviation turbine fuels

The aviation industry’s evaluation and qualification process for synthesised jet fuel components can be resource-intensive but ensures that any alternative fuel specification is safe, fungible and meets stakeholder needs. This technical guidance document identifies prescreening methods that can provide early-stage confidence to fuel developers on whether Alternative Jet Fuel (AJF) formulations might encounter downstream challenges with the completion of the ASTM D4054 evaluation process.

SAF qualification overview

Get an overview of the rigorous testing requirements to compare the properties of new, alternative jet fuels to petroleum-derived jet fuel to determine whether a fuel can be considered “drop-in.” Learn about how SAF gets certified, currently approved fuels and existing standards and approvals.
