Recently work has focused on the development of sustainable aviation fuels, which are low-carbon fuels produced from biomass. Fuel’s properties are controlled by the composition of the fuel. Our work utilizes this reasoning to make property predictions, connecting composition to hydrocarbon property databases and property blending rules.
