The development of the commercial air carriers market causes an increase in the aviation fuel consumption and the air pollution. There are intensive works in order to invent the possibility of supplying the aviation engines with biofuels. The hydrogen gas is needed for technological processes to obtain the synthetic biocomponents from biomass, which met the quality standards for fuels and aviation fuels. Pure hydrogen gas is scarce in the Earth's atmosphere and has to be derived from petroleum
