Bibliometric and Patent Analysis of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis Catalysts for Saf Production
This study explores the role of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis in producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), crucial for reducing CO₂ emissions in aviation. Invented by Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch in the 1920s, FT synthesis transforms syngas, into liquid hydrocarbons using metal catalysts, mainly...

| Sumario: | This study explores the role of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis in producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), crucial for reducing CO₂ emissions in aviation. Invented by Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch in the 1920s, FT synthesis transforms syngas, into liquid hydrocarbons using metal catalysts, mainly iron (Fe) or cobalt (Co). This process is vital for creating liquid fuels from coal, natural gas, or biomass, especially where petroleum is scarce or costly. The study includes a detailed bibliometric and patent analysis of catalysts in FT synthesis, focusing on SAF. A review of 1,236 articles from 2003 to 2024 in Scopus and Web of Science shows China leading in scientific publications, followed by the U.S., reflecting their heavy investment in sustainable aviation. Additionally, analysis of 2,128 patent families from The Lens Patents platform identifies the U.S. and China as major innovators; focus on more efficient and sustainable SAF catalysts to advance FT technology. |
