Bevirt: Hydrogen fuel cells yield a 6x efficiency gain over jet fuel
“Three times lighter the hydrogen is three times lighter than jet fuel. And then we can convert it into propulsion twice as efficiently. So you get a six X gain.”
Bevirt: Hydrogen Has 3x Jet Fuel's Specific Energy and 2x Efficiency
“It's three times the specific energy of jet fuel. And with fuel cells, we can convert that into propulsion twice as efficiently.”
Bevirt: Hydrogen has 100 times higher specific energy than modern batteries
“Hydrogen is a hundred times higher specific energy than today's batteries is three times higher specific energy than jet fuel.”
Delta buys 4B gallons of fuel yearly, securing only 3.5M of SAF
“Delta as a company procures four billion gallons of jet fuel every year. Last year we used roughly three and a half million gallons of SAF, and that's not for wanting more. That's all we could get our hands on.”
DeLuca: Full SAF scalability requires power-to-liquid synthetic fuels
“If you really look at full scalability for that four billion gallons of jet fuel, we have to look even further into the future into power to liquid or synthetic fuels, which really need that access to renewable energy. To essentially, you know, cut the water i…”
DeLuca: HEFA feedstocks cannot scale to Delta's 4B gallon fuel demand
“So all those feedstocks I mentioned, I mean, there's a limitation. They can't be scaled to the four billion gallons of jet fuel that Delta uses, let alone what the industry uses.”
