Fischer-Tropsch Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Fischer-Tropsch paraffinic kerosene is a synthetic kerosene produced by the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis uses synthesis gas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen) as raw material, and a series of chemical reactions occur under the action of a specific catalyst to convert the synthesis gas into hydrocarbons, including paraffinic kerosene. This kerosene has a unique chemical composition and physical properties, does not contain impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen, has an extremely low aromatic content, has excellent combustion performance, and can provide stable and efficient energy output.

In the field of application, Fischer-Tropsch paraffinic kerosene is mainly used in the aviation field as an important part of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). It has good compatibility with traditional aviation kerosene and can be used directly in existing aircraft engines and fuel systems without large-scale modifications to the aircraft. For example, many airlines have begun to use mixed fuels mixed with Fischer-Tropsch paraffinic kerosene in some flights, which can not only reduce carbon emissions, but also reduce engine carbon deposits, extend engine service life, and improve flight safety. In addition, in some special fields that have extremely high requirements for fuel cleanliness and stability, such as the power system of high-end military equipment, the use of Fischer-Tropsch paraffinic kerosene has also begun to be explored.

At present, the global demand for sustainable energy is growing, driving the rapid development of the Fischer-Tropsch paraffinic kerosene industry. According to PACO Research data, the global production of Fischer-Tropsch paraffinic kerosene has increased at an average annual rate of about 8% in the past five years. In terms of research and development, major scientific research institutions and enterprises continue to increase their investment. In 2023 alone, the global investment in the research and development of technologies related to Fischer-Tropsch paraffinic kerosene exceeded US$2 billion, aiming to further optimize the production process, improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. At the same time, governments of various countries have also introduced a series of policies to encourage the use of clean energy, creating a good policy environment for the development of Fischer-Tropsch paraffinic kerosene.

Looking to the future, the market prospects of Fischer-Tropsch paraffinic kerosene are broad. With increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements and the urgent need for sustainable development in the aviation industry, its market share is expected to continue to expand. In addition, with the continuous advancement of technology, new production processes and sources of raw materials will continue to emerge, which will further reduce costs, improve product quality, promote the application of Fischer-Tropsch paraffinic kerosene in more fields, and help global energy transformation and sustainable development.
