Aviation Fuel Cleanliness
All fuels employed in the Aviation industry require the highest possible cleanliness value that allows the cleanest burn resulting in the least amount of solids emissions possible. Clean fuel also reduces premature wear of fuel system components.
Methane’s Global Warming Potential: 86 Times Higher than Carbon Dioxide
“Methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas and is about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide if it escapes into the atmosphere before being burned. Studies show that natural gas power plants could be worse for climate change than coal plants if their leakage rate rises above 4%.”
