Carbon-neutral jet fuel production from seawater

International Journal of Sustainable Aviation (IJSA), Vol. 2, No. 2, 2016

Abstract: A novel method is presented to produce synthetic jet fuel from hydrogen and carbon dioxide extracted from seawater. This novel method is based on the recognition that the winds over the oceans can be converted into electric power by means of sailing ships equipped with hydrokinetic turbines whose electric output can be used to extract hydrogen and carbon dioxide from sea water. This 'energy ship concept' is described in some detail and a preliminary discussion of the technical and economical feasibility of sea-based synthetic jet fuel production is presented.
