Aviation Fuels and Standards for Synthetic Aviation Turbine Fuels (SATF) Seminar

(In-person only event)

Date: April 7, 2025

Event Location: Brussels Marriott Hotel Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium

Organized by: ASTM Committee D02.J on Aviation Fuels

About the Event

The Aviation Fuels and Standards for Synthetic Aviation Turbine Fuels (SATF) Seminar will be held Monday, April 7, 2025. Sponsored by ASTM Committee D02.J on Aviation Fuels, the seminar will be held at the Brussels Marriott Hotel Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium. The language of the seminar will be English.

Objective and Scope

With the current wide-spread focus on reducing carbon emissions from aviation fuels, along with efforts to eliminate the use of lead in aviation gasoline, there is a greater global interest in the ASTM standards development process. This is especially true in Europe, where pending environmental mandates for increased use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and proposed regulatory constraints on the use of leaded aviation gasoline have given new urgency to the development of alternative fuels, along with the specifications that control and define those fuels.

This seminar, and subsequent D02.J Subcommittee Technical Meetings, will provide an opportunity to communicate and describe some of the unique approaches developed for evaluation and specification development for aviation fuels. The seminar will also seek to identify areas of coordination and collaboration on research initiatives and policy development with the shared goal of mitigating the climate and environmental impact of aviation.

Topics will include:

SATF and ASTM Overview
ASTM D4054 Overview & US Clearinghouse
EU Clearing House
UK Clearing House
ASTM D7566 Overview
SATF Supply Chain
Co-Processing
Airworthiness Standards and SATF (EASA
Airworthiness Standards and SATF (FAA)
Interplay of Government Policy with Aviation Fuel Specifications
ASTM SATF Qualification Panel

**Lunch will be served for all seminar registrants.**

Abstract Submission

To participate in the symposium, authors must submit a 250 to 300-word preliminary abstract using the online Abstract Submission Portal no later than DATE. To ensure your abstract was received into the ASTM database, please email symposia@astm.org and let us know that you have submitted an abstract.

The abstract must include a clear definition of the objective and approach of the work discussed, pointing out material that is new, and present sufficient details regarding results. The presentation and manuscript must not be of a commercial nature, nor can it have been previously published. Because a limited number of abstracts will be accepted, be sure that your abstract submission is complete to allow for careful assessment of the paper's suitability for this symposium. The symposium chair(s) will notify you via email by DATE of your paper’s acceptability for presentation at the symposium. If the preliminary abstract is accepted, the author will be requested to submit a final abstract a few months before the symposium. The final abstracts will be distributed in a program booklet at the symposium.

Publication Information

Symposium authors are required to submit their papers for ASTM publication in Selected Technical Papers (STP), an online and printed, peer-reviewed publication for the international scientific and engineering community. STP papers should be full-length technical papers of approximately 10,000 words, significantly contribute to the technical literature, and must include a review of past work in the relevant area and present information of current interest or probe new fields. After the final selection of abstracts has been approved, the ASTM Editorial Office will send authors’ instructions via email, but also can be found by clicking here.

Manuscripts to be peer reviewed for the STP are due online no later than DATE at the ASTM Editorial Office. The corresponding author (the author who is the main contact with ASTM Headquarters) will receive a copy of his/her paper in portable document format (PDF). All published authors will have the opportunity to purchase reprints of their papers at a nominal cost. Only those papers submitted by the manuscript due date will be included in the STP. Please note that all submitted papers are subject to peer review by two independent reviewers.

The STP will be submitted to the Library of Congress with an ISBN number and will be reviewed for inclusion in the Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and Google Scholar.
