even better with the technological innovation of furfural

production. In the recent work of Huber et al., a cost-effective
technology was developed. It was proposed that the furfuryl
alcohol unit price can be greatly decreased to ~400 US$/ton by
the utilization of their new process. Based on this information,
the future unit production costs for bio-JP-10 fuel by route 1 and
route 2 can be decreased to 2,547 US$/ton and 2,887 US$/ton,
respectively. These prices are about 2-3 times of conventional
jet fuel (or the same level as other current bio-jet fuels).
However, they are much lower than the current price of JP-10
fuel (~7,091 US$/ton). Therefore, we believe that the future
commercialization of bio-JP-10 fuel is very promising especially

In summary, we reported two routes for the synthesis of bio-
JP-10 fuel with furfuryl alcohol. Both routes have their own
features. For example, the last three steps of route 1 are same
as what were used in conventional route for the production of
JP-10 fuel. Therefore, it is possible to use the conventional
facility for the production of bio-JP-10 fuel. Furthermore, the
cyclopentadiene produced in route 1 can also be used as a
chemical or feedstock for the production of other high-density jet
fuels (such as RJ-5, RJ-7, etc.). In contrast, route 2 has fewer
steps (4 steps vs. 6 steps) than route 1. Moreover, route 2 is
economically more flexible. Based on the price of feedstock, we
can either choose the cyclopentadiene from fossil resources or
use the one from biomass to produce the JP-10 fuel with lower
cost. A preliminary analysis indicates that the two routes
developed in this work are economically advantageous than the
conventional one. This work makes the practical application of
bio-JP-10 fuel in sight.
