The aviation industry significantly contributes to CO2 and fine particle emissions, including harmful polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. With the rapid growth of this sector, these emissions are expected to rise. To tackle this, the EU focuses on sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) derived from renewable biomass and waste resources in an effort to reduce transport emissions by 90 % by 2050. However, more experimental data and chemical kinetic models for SAF combustion are needed. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the ChemCon project aims to provide new experimental data and a kinetic model for p-cymene, an aromatic terpenoid produced from natural feedstocks, to understand its combustion behaviour and emission potential.
