Baylor University, in conjunction with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U.S. Department of Energy, Texas State Technical College, and Environment Canada, presented the Second International Conference on Alternative Aviation Fuels to introduce members of the industry to the promise and applications of alternative fuels in aviation. This publication contains 50 technical presentations presented at the Second International Conference on Alternative Aviation Fuels. Baylor University, in Waco, Texas, hosted the conference on November 6-S, 1997. Topics covered in the papers and panel discussions included: Environmental impact of alternative aviation fuels: Cost-effectiveness and characteristics of alternative fuels: Alternative aviation fuel case studies: Fuel suppliers' and manufactures' responses to alternative fuels Barriers to commercialization

The Renewable Aviation Fuels Development Center at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, was designated, in March 1996, by the US Department of Energy (US DOE) as the national coordinator of the Clean Airports Program. This program, a spin-off of the Clean Cities Program, was initiated to increase the use of alternative fuels in aviation. There are two major fuels used in aviation today, the current piston engine aviation gasoline, and the current turbine engine fuel. The environmental impact of each of these fuels is significant. Aviation Gasoline (100LL), currently used in the General Aviation piston engine fleet, contributes 100% of the emissions containing lead in the USA today. In the case of the turbine engine fuel (Jet fuel), there are two major environmental impacts to be considered: the local, in the vicinity of the airports, and the global impact on climate change. The Clean Airports Program was established to promote the use of clean burning fuels in order to achieve and maintain clean air at and in the vicinities of airports through the use of alternative fuel-powered air and ground transportation vehicles.
