Emissions Quantification Methodology Report: ACRP 02-80 Quantifying Emissions Reductions at Airports from the Use of Alternative Jet Fuel Emissions Quantification Methodology Report Page 12 4.0 Pollutant-Specific Analysis In the following sections the detailed analysis undertaken to quantify the impacts for the pollutant species SOx, nvPM N, nvPM Mass, NOx, CO, UHC, and HAPs is presented. 4.1 SOx The SOx emission indices (EISOx, blend) of the conventional/SAJF blends are found to be directly proportional to the amount of sulfur found in the fuel burned, independent of engine type and operating condition, according to the following functional relationship: EISox,blend = %% â EISox,conv (1) where EISOx, conv denotes the SOx emission index for the conventional fuel. This relationship assumes that the alternate fuel contains negligible sulfur compared to that of the conventional fuel. This assumption is borne out by the literature. Hence the impact on SOx of the SAJF can be defined as ÎSOx = EISOx,blend â EISOx,conv = â %% â EISOx,conv (2) STEP 1 â Critical metrics are found to be blend% and fuel sulfur content. Based on available data from the State of the Industry Review, Î SOx is found to be independent of engine type, engine operating condition, and atmospheric conditions. The only dependency on the alternate fuels was its sulfur content with metrics sulfur concentration ([S] in %wt. sulfur, or ppm) and blend%. STEP 2 â The SOx impacts spreadsheet is given in Table 3.

Fuel analyses where available supported this observation. Step 3 concludes that any impact analysis should account for the total sulfur content in the blended fuel. STEP 4 â The following function was found to represent the impact of sulfur on SOx emissions. EISOx,blend = %% â EISOx,conv + ððððð% â EISOx, SAJF (3)

Using EISOx,SAJF = EISOx,conv â [SSAJF][Sconv], (6) where EISOx, SAJF denotes the emissions factor for the neat SAJF. Then ÎSOx = ððððð%100% â [SSAJF][Sconv] - 1 â EISOx,conv (7) where [SSAJF] and [Sconv] denote the sulfur weight percents for the component fuels, and thus the SOx fractional impact factor ÎfSOx, [S] can be written in terms of sulfur weight percents as ÎfSOx,[S] = ððððð%100% â [SSAJF][Sconv] â 1 . (8) There will be measurement uncertainties in blend%, EISOx, and [S], which will lead to uncertainties in ÎfSOx, EI and ÎfSOx, [S], as given by the expressions: δÎfSOx,EI = ÎfSOx â ððððð%100% 1 + ð¿ ððððð%100% â EISOx,sajf-δEISOxEISOx,conv+δEISOx â 1 , (9) and δÎfSOx,[S] = ð¥fSOx â ððððð%100% â 1 + ð¿ ððððð%100% â [SSAJF]-δ[S][Sconv]+δ[S] â 1 . (10) where δEISOx and δ[S] denote uncertainties in measure SOx emission index and fuel sulfur content. Here the uncertainties are taken to be the difference between the impact factor calculated using the parameters EISOx,SAJF, and EISOx,conv shifted by δEISOx in such a way as to give the largest deviation, for the case of Eq. (5), and calculated using the parameters [SSAJF] and [Sconv] shifted by δ[S] in such a way as to give the largest deviation, for the case of Eq. (8).
Emissions Quantification Methodology Report: ACRP 02-80 Quantifying Emissions Reductions at Airports from the Use of Alternative Jet Fuel Emissions Quantification Methodology Report Page 14 STEP 5 â In Reference 6 (Beyersdorf, et al.), a paper describing the results of the Alternative Aviation Fuel Experiment (AAFEX) campaign, the SAJF of interest was Fisher-Tropsch (FT) Gas To Liquid (GTL) and the conventional fuel was JP-8 in a 50% blend. The fuel sulfur content of the JP-8 was reported to be 1148 ppm, and the sulfur content of the FT GTL was assumed to be zero. However, SO2 was observed in the exhaust of neat FT GTL. A companion report for project AAFEX (ref 22) provided the fuel analyses for all fuels burned in the project and revealed a fuel sulfur content of 19 ppm for the neat FT GTL. The blend% of 50% used in AAFEX applied to Eq. (5) and Eq. (9) thus gives a ÎfSOx, [S] of -0.4917 ± 0.0069, assuming a 0.5% uncertainty in blend% and uncertainties in fuel sulfur content of 10%. Using the Beyersdorf observational EI data (EISOx, conv = 2.3 g/kg; EISOx, SAJF = 0.2 g/kg) in Eq. (5) and (9) gives ÎfSOx, EI = -0.492 ± 0.036, assuming a 0.5% uncertainty in blend% and uncertainties in EI measurements of 0.15 g/kg. These measurement uncertainties are conservative estimates of uncertainty based on measurement experience. To determine if the difference in impact factors between the EI method and the Sulfur content method is significant, the Error Ratio (ER) can be defined as: ð¸ð = | , ,[ ]|, ,[ ] (11) where ER < 1 implies the error bars in ÎfSOx overlap. For the Beyersdorf data, ER=0.83. Hence the impact factor relationship, Eq. (8) and (10), agrees with the measurement data to within experimental error. In Reference 20 (Corporan, et al.), a paper describing emissions from blends of Hydroprocessed Renewable Jet (HRJ) and FT SAJFs with JP-8, burned in F117-PW-100 engines on a C-17 aircraft. A 50% blend of HRJ with JP-8 was studied. The fuel sulfur content of the JP-8 was reported to be 0.08 wt.%, and 0.02 wt.% for the HRJ. Applying Eq. (8) and (1) gives a ÎfSOx[S] of -0.375 ± 0.072, assuming a 0.5% uncertainty in blend% and uncertainties in fuel sulfur content of 1%. Using the Corporan normalized observational EI data (EIconv = 1; EISAJF = 0.55) in Eq. (5) and (9) gives ÎfSOx, EI = -0.225 ± 0.181, assuming a 0.5% uncertainty in blend% and uncertainties in EI measurements of 0.3. For the Corporan data, ER=0.59. Hence the impact factor relationship, Eq. (8) and (10), agrees with the measurement data to within experimental error. SOx Findings The fact that the uncertainty in ÎfSOx, [S] is smaller than the absolute value of ÎfSOx, [S] implies that there is a statistically meaningful SOx impact associated with alternative fuel usage. ð¥ðððð¥, [ð] = ððððð%100% â [SSAJF][Sconv] â 1 . ð¿ð¥ðððð¥, [ð] = ð¥ðððð¥ â ððððð%100% â 1 + ð¿ ððððð%100%â [S]sajf-δ[S][S]conv+δ[S] â 1
Emissions Quantification Methodology Report: ACRP 02-80 Quantifying Emissions Reductions at Airports from the Use of Alternative Jet Fuel Emissions Quantification Methodology Report Page 15 Illustrative example: To illustrate the use of the impact factor, assume an airport has normal SOx emissions of 1,000 kg/year. Assuming 12% of the jet fuel used at the airport is blended conventional/SAJF at a 50% blend (50% blend ï¨ Îf_ SOx = -0.375 and δÎf SOx,[S] = 0.072), and assuming [S]sajf = 0.02 and [S]conv=0.08, the SOx emissions savings would be 45 kg/year (1000*0.12*0.375) with an uncertainty of 8.6 kg/year (1000*0.12*0.072). 4.2 nvPM Number For nvPM number we anticipated a similar relationship as that for SOx. At currently approved blend percentages of up to 50%, the reduction in nvPM number emissions is directly related to the amount of SAJF burned, thus the emission index of the blend (EInPM, blend), for a given engine and operating condition, can be expressed as follows: EInPM,blend = ð¼ â EInPM,conv â (1 â ððððð%) + ð½ â EInPM,SAJF â ððððð%, (12) where EInPM, conv and EInPM, SAJF denote the emission indices for the conventional and alternate fuels, respectively, and α and β are constants. The impact on nvPM number due to the SAJF for specific engines and their operating conditions is Îf_EIn = EInPM,blend - EInPM,conv EInPM,conv = ð¼ â 1 â ððððð%100% + ð½ â EInPM,ASJFEInPM,conv â ððððð%100% â 1 = ð0 + ð1 â ððððð%100% ð¤ðð¡â ð0 = ð¼ â 1, ð1 = ð½ â EInPM,ASJFEInPM,conv â ð¼ . (13) STEP 1 â Based on the limited available data from the State of the Industry Review, the observational data is found to be dependent on power and blend%. For use in the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) model, an average value for impact factor, weighted over LTO cycle fuel burns, is calculated, resulting in impact factors depending on blend% alone. STEP 2 AND 3 â The nvPM N emissions impact spreadsheet is given in Table 4 below. In the spreadsheet Îf_EIn {LTO EIn} denotes the power dependent nvPM Number impact factors; FF*t denotes the product of fuel flow rate for a given operational mode and the time in mode as defined by the ICAO LTO cycle. This represents the fuel burned in the mode and is used as a weighting function to get an LTO weighted impact factor, Îf_EInweight. Îf_EInavg, weight is the average of all Îf_EInweight values recorded for a given blend%. Multiple values were only found for 50% and 100% blend percentages; δ denotes the standard deviation in Îf_EInweight values and is used as the uncertainty in Îf_EInavg, weight. STEP 4 â Development of functional impact relationships. Table 4 gives the Îf_EInavg, weight for two values of blend%, with associated uncertainty (δ). The published references gave EI values at various measured engine power points. Linear interpolations or extrapolations were performed on these to get EI values at

The fit coefficients (constant, linear term, quadratic term) in the uncertainty weighted EIn impact factor equation contain uncertainty.

Assuming 12% of the jet fuel used at the airport is blended conventional/SAJF, at a 50% blend (50% blend ï¨ Îf_EIn = -0.48) the nvPM number emissions savings would be 5.73 x 1014/year (1016 * 0.12 * 0.48) with an uncertainty of 3.9x1014/year (1016*0.12*δÎf=0.325). 4.3 nvPM Mass For nvPM mass we anticipate a similar relationship as that for nvPM N. At currently approved blend percentages of up to 50%, the reduction in nvPM mass emissions is directly related to the amount of SAJF burned, thus the emission index of the blend (EImPM, blend), for a given engine and operating condition, can be expressed as follows EImPM,blend = ð¼ â EImPM,conv â 1 â ððððð%100% + ð½ â EImPM,SAJF â ððððð%100% , (17) where EImPM, conv and EImPM, SAJF denote the mass-based emission indices for the conventional and alternate fuels. nvPM N Findings The fact that the uncertainty in Îf_EIn_fit is smaller than the absolute value of Îf_EIn_fit implies that there is a statistically meaningful nvPM N impact associated with alternative fuel usage. ð¥f_EIn_fit = â 1.25ð¸ â 2 â ððððð% + 5.91ð¸ â 5 âððððð%^2. δÎf_EIn_fit = { (5.23ð¸ â 3 â ððððð%)2 + (7.73ð¸ â 5â ððððð%2)2}1/2

Îf_EImavg, weight is the average of all Îf_EIm weight values recorded for a given blend%. δ denotes the standard deviation in Îf_EImweight values and is used as the uncertainty in Îf_EImavg, weight.

Assuming 12% of the jet fuel used at the airport is blended conventional/SAJF, at a 50% blend (50% blend ï¨ Îf_EIm = -0.65) the nvPM mass emissions savings would be 78 kg/year (1000 * 0.12 * 0.65) with an uncertainty of 38 kg/year (1000*0.12*δÎf=0.314). 4.4 NOx For NOx we anticipated a small if not negligible impact. At currently approved blend percentages of up to 50%, the reduction in NOx emissions is directly related to the amount of SAJF burned, thus the emission index of the blend (EINOx, blend), for a given engine and operating condition, can be expressed in a similar manner as used for SOx, nvPM N, and nvPM Mass: EINOx,blend = ð¼ â EINOx,conv â 1 â ððððð%100% + ð½ â EINOx,SAJF â ððððð%100% , (22) nvPM Mass Findings The fact that the uncertainty in Îf_EIm_fit is smaller than the absolute value of Îf_EIm_fit implies that there is a statistically meaningful nvPM M impact associated with alternative fuel usage.

Emissions Quantification Methodology Report: ACRP 02-80 Quantifying Emissions Reductions at Airports from the Use of Alternative Jet Fuel Emissions Quantification Methodology Report Page 38 The fact that the error bars in Figure 9 overlap and their associated ERs are always less than unity, reveals that the Îf_EIUHC function is a good representation for the EIUHC impact factor data and is thereby validated. Illustrative example: To illustrate the use of the impact factor for UHC, assume an airport has normal UHC emissions of 1000 kg/year. Assuming 12% of the jet fuel used at the airport is blended conventional/SAJF, at a 50% blend (50% blend ï¨ Îf = -0.348) the UHC emissions savings would be 41.8 kg/year (1000 * 0.12 * 0.348) with an uncertainty of 14.8 kg/year (1000*0.12*δÎf=0.123). Note: The functional fit analysis for UHC impact is confounded by the extensive scatter in the small amount of data available in the literature on UHC emissions (three papers (Refs 6, 17, 21) with 80% of the data coming from Ref 17). The observed scatter appears to be driven by not only blend ratio but also engine operating condition (Ref 17). As a result, the authors caution applying the impact factors for UHC resulting from the above functional analysis. The authors further recommend the pursuit of additional experimental studies on UHC emissions associated with blended SAJFs as a function of engine operating condition in order to strengthen confidence in the resulting impact factor analysis. 4.7 HAPs For HAPs we anticipated a small if not negligible impact. At currently approved blend percentages of up to 50%, the reduction in HAPs emissions is directly related to the amount of SAJF burned, thus the emission index of the blend (EInHAPs), for a given engine and operating condition, can be expressed in a similar manner as used for SOx, nvPM N, and nvPM Mass: ð¸ð¼HAPs,blend = ð¼ â ð¸ð¼HAPs,conv â 1 â %% + ð½ â ð¸ð¼HAPs,SAJF â %% , (37) The impact on HAPs emissions due to the SAJF for specific engines and their operating conditions is Îf_EIHAPs = EIHAPs,blend â EIHAPs,conv EIHAPs,conv = ð¼ â 1 â %% + ð½ â EIHAPs,ASJFEIHAPs,conv â %% â 1 UHC Findings The fact that the uncertainty in Îf_EIUHC is smaller than the absolute value of Îf_EIUHC implies that there may be a statistically meaningful UHC impact associated with alternative fuel usage. Due to the variability of available data, the team was not able to definitively derive a relationship between blend percentage and UHC emissions reduction that can be confidently used to describe UHC emissions. Îf_EIUHC = â0.3482 â ð¡ððâ (0.322 â ððððð%). δÎf EIUHC = 0.1234 â ð¡ððâ (0.2867 â ððððð%).

(38) STEP 1 â Based on the limited available data from the State of the Industry Report, the observational data is found to be dependent on power and blend%. For use in the AEDT model, an average value for impact factor, weighted over LTO cycle fuel burns, is calculated, resulting in impact factors depending on blend% alone.
