Environmental Analysis of Possible Sulfur Increases in USAF Jet Fuels

Abstract

This analysis addresses the question of whether environmental considerations should be the limiting constraint to possible increases in sulfur content of USAF jet fuels. Such increases are proposed in order to increase the availability of jet fuels such as JP-4. The current average sulfur content of 0.05% by weight and two hypothesized levels of 0.4 percent and 1.0 percent are analyzed in this study. Aircraft emissions and meteorological conditions around an airbase are maximized to produce predicted 'worst-case' ambient air quality levels.
