Abstract
Due to environmental pressure and the prevailing political and economic situation in the world, alternatives to traditional fossil fuels are being sought. The use of bio-derived fuels may reduce the emission of pollutants present in jet engine exhausts. The presented research investigates the possibility of replacing the conventional fuel, which is kerosene, with plant-derived fuels from marine algae and jatropha. During the analysis, based on the available data, the emission indices of pollutants were computed, and then, for the adopted aircraft and route, the emissions for kerosene and alternative fuels were determined. A significant reduction in the emission of most analyzed compounds (even by 40% for CO) was achieved compared to the emission for kerosene. The obtained results are discussed in the conclusion section.
