Handbook for Analyzing the Costs and Benefits of Alternative Aviation Turbine Engine Fuels at Airports

"Consists of the Alternative Fuel Investigation Tool (AFIT), a handbook on the use of AFIT, and a report on its development. AFIT is an analytical model designed to help airport operators and fuel suppliers evaluate the costs associated with introducing "drop-in" alternative turbine engine fuel at airports and the benefits as measured by reduced emissions. AFIT, which is included in CD-ROM format with the print version of the report, takes into account options for using alternative fuel for other airside equipment, including diesel-powered ground support equipment. The report also addresses characteristics of current fuel usage and distribution, and describes what is required to switch to alternatives. The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB's website as an ISO image. Links to the ISO image and instructions for burning a CD-ROM from an ISO image are provided.... Warning: This is a large file and may take some time to download using a high-speed connection."--Provided by publisher.
