4.7.2 Ethanol to Jet Fuels and Middle Distillates
Transportation sector accounts for 25% of global total energy demand for the movement of people and goods. The consumption pattern for different types of fuels is
given in Fig. 24 [251].
According to International Energy Outlook 2016 [252], the total energy consumption in passenger and freight modes of transportation, using all types of fuels,
is increasing (Fig. 25) continuously from ~100 quadrillion Btu in 2012 towards the
projected consumption of ~150 quadrillion Btu by 2040 [252]. Considering the
need for sustainable energy resources and minimization of the environmental
