AM-07-66 The Effects of Specification Changes on Jet Fuel Outlook

Description:

Armbrust Aviation Group will present the results of a survey of NPRA members regarding jet fuel production. The survey examines key jet fuel specification properties in terms of the refining industry's capability and preparedness to cope with changing jet fuel specifications. An increasing number of external factors/forces including standardization, safety, fuel efficiency, engine technology, economics and environment are making new demands on jet fuel specifications requiring the limits of key properties within the specifications be re-examined and others introduced. These changes are likely to have serious implications on the manufacturing, supply, distribution and cost of producing jet fuel. It is, therefore, vital that the industry understands how these changes will affect the industry going forward.
