Renewable alternatives to conventional kerosene are increasingly becoming the focus of aviation for ecological and economic reasons. In this diverse field, the "Alternative Fuels " research at Bauhaus Luftfahrt focuses on the following key questions:

  • What quantities can be produced worldwide in a sustainable manner in the future?
  • Which technical production pathways are available for a long-term supply?
  • And how should these pathways be evaluated in terms of their technical, environmental, and socioeconomic potential?

Technological options with long-term future potential play a special in the considerations carried out by Bauhaus Luftfahrt. Important research topics in the field of alternative fuels are the production of advanced biofuels with raw materials such as waste and residual materials, as well as non-biogenic fuels, e.g. power-to-liquid (PtL), solar-thermochemical fuels (sun-to-liquid - StL) and hydrogen.
