Zero-Emmission Fuels for Business Jets and Airlines
ICOMIN has a clear focus for "Synthetic Fuels" or "Zero-Emmission Fuels" for Aviation.
1. Trading synthetic (emmission-free) fuels for aviation and CO2-Trading
2. Supply Chain Management : production > shipping > storage > aviation airports
3. Supporting electric-aviation industry : electric fans, fuel-cells, advanced batteries
The Norwegian commercial shipping industry is changing to hybrid-electric-propulsion systems due
to very strict environmental laws in the Fijord regions. The systems in use are based on H2-hybrid-electric.
Similar to the Commercial shipping industry, the airline industry is searching for Jet-A1 fuel replacements :
1 - JET A1 climate-neutral fuels
Plastics and others fossile waste is recycled to create a climate-neutral Jet-A1 fuel.
While demand is high, production is yet low and prices high. CO2 remain in the (upper) air.
We regard these climate-neutrale fuels as a solution in the short-term.
2 - JET H2 climate-neutral fuels
Same as in the shipping industries, H2-hydrogen energy can deliver extensive energy for the airplane turbines.
H2 in pressurized-cooled form to run powerful electric generators for the electric turbines is a viable solutions.
But H2 production and distribution is very expensive, and apx. 80% loss from production to usage not efficient.
3 - Synthetic JET fuels
We envision a synthetic fuel energy that powers the electric generators onboard the aircraft.
The electric fans or props receive contstant electric power for take-off cruise and landing.
With this Synthetic Hybrid solution, flying becomes 100% eco-friendly at lower costs.
* climate-neutral, CO-2 emmission free, "green or blue power"
* non-cooled, non-pressurized, highly stable energy form
* existing distribution network (as of today)
* Synthetic fuel prices apx. 20-40% lower than JET-A1 fuels today
4 - Electric turbines
Electric turbines have multiple adantages. They are less complex, lighter, cheaper, less maintenance and less noise.
Less complexity may increase the reliability of the turbines, the efficiency at all altitudes and the comfort for passengers.
Electric turbines may become more economical to operate, cheaper with synthetic fuels and 100% climate neutral.
5 - Battery powered aviation
The weight and the energy storage, the overall risk and the production materials are only a few limitations for batteries.
While batteries may be used for push-back and taxiing, they serve for ground- and in-flight electronics as today.
