Renewable aviation fuel (biojet) holds the greatest potential for enabling carbon neutral growth of the Canadian aviation sector. The CBSCI will work towards functional integration of biojet into the downstream supply chain as a key enabling factor for the uptake of meaningful volumes of biojet by the aviation sector.

Considerations for the Application of a Biojet Sustainability Standard in the Aviation Sector
This stand alone paper was developed during the course of CBSCI operations in order to address the overarching theme of sustainability – both how it is operationalized within a specific supply chain project, and how it is incorporated into an important emerging fuel sector.

Feedstock, HEFA, and Biojet Production
This report evaluates feedstock availability and suitability for CBSCI and future biojet production. Key criteria for feedstock selection are commercial availability and sustainability. Following the selection of canola oil as a near term available and certified sustainable feedstock, technical analysis is performed to determine the preferred processing conditions for creating HEFA feedstock.
