Joe Corazzi heads Superior Fuel, a global energy and fuel conglomerate that specializes in providing aviation fuels. There are two main types of aviation fuel: AvGas, which powers small piston aircraft, and Jet A-1 fuel, which is most commonly used in turbine aircraft. Sustainable aviation fuels made from non-fossil sources like waste oil and algae provide a lower-carbon alternative to fossil fuels by emitting 80% less CO2.

4. There are several types of aviation fuel, but the
most common are AvGAS and Jet Fuel. Commonly
used by private pilots, flying schools, or flying
clubs, AvGAS powers small piston-powered
aircraft. Though different in composition and with
higher octane ratings, AvGAS performs similar to
regular gasoline in car engines.

5. Of the three types of jet fuels, Jet A-1 type
aviation fuel is most commonly used, mainly in
turbine-engine aircraft as well as civil aviation.
It maintains a colorless or straw-colored
appearance, a flashpoint of 100ᵒ Fahrenheit,
and a freeze point of -52ᵒ Fahrenheit.

6. ● While AvGAS and jet fuel are derived from crude
oil and are classified as fossil fuels, fuel types with
different compositions and features are emerging.
Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) made from non-
fossil CO2 or biogenic sources such as waste oil,
algae, and halophytes provide an alternative to
fossil fuels. The main advantage over fossil fuels is
that SAF emit 80 percent less CO2.
