Subcommittee Scope/Topics

The Subcommittee fosters, disseminates, and drives research related to:

Techno-economic analysis of different aviation fuel options
Current state of technology
Environmental impacts (e.g., emissions, water use) of producing and using different aviation fuels
Regulations and certifications of aviation fuels
Market adoption

Membership

The subcommittees are intended to attract participation from individuals who form the membership group, but TRB subcommittees do not maintain a formal membership roster. In the event that sufficient interest is generated in the topic, the subcommittee may be elevated to function as a task force or a full committee. We encourage participation in the subcommittee from all segments of the aviation industry including educators, researchers, regulators and NGO’s with associated interests.
