The #aviation sector today is entirely reliant on fossil jet fuel, but upcoming regulatory measures in key geographies such as the U.S. and EU seek to promote the adoption of novel technologies to decarbonize the sector. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), #hydrogen, and electric aviation are all options being investigated to do so — the challenge is finding a solution that can match the performance, cost, and scalability of fossil jet fuel.

Important commentary from Chris Lyle on the aviation emissions problem. ✈️ Capping aviation emissions is crucial to meet climate goals, given the limitations of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and alternative propulsion technologies. Despite technological and operational advances, they won't suffice. Emissions capping at airports, directly targeting emissions rather than flight numbers, is proposed as a viable solution.

Why Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is crucial for the aviation industry to achieve net zero emissions: - Drop-in fuel compatibility is key: Given the 20-30 year lifespan of commercial airliners, the fuel used today will impact emissions well into 2050. - Long-term challenges of battery and hydrogen solutions: While electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft show promise, they present significant obstacles in the medium term. Electric flight is limited by battery energy density, and hydrogen faces challenges related to storage, infrastructure, and aircraft fuel tank modifications.

Air New Zealand is scrapping its 2030 carbon emission reduction target citing new aircraft delays and lack of SAF. Join the discussion on industry challenges and solutions at the #MexicoBusinessSummit, Nov 26-28, 2024. #MexicoBusinessNews #MexicoAerospace

In a groundbreaking collaboration, several leading UK companies have embarked on a mission to revolutionise the aviation industry by developing hydrogen fuel cell propulsion for aircraft. This ambitious initiative aims to address the environmental challenges posed by traditional aviation fuels and pave the way for a more sustainable and eco-friendly future in air travel. Hydrogen fuel cells have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional aviation fuels, offering the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions and contribute to a cleaner atmosphere. By harnessing the power of hydrogen, these companies aim to propel aircraft with greater efficiency and minimal environmental impact.

Hydrogen power is set to revolutionize aviation by providing a clean, efficient alternative to traditional jet fuels. Whether used in modified engines or innovative fuel cells, hydrogen promises to eliminate emissions and significantly reduce our environmental footprint. 🌱 From hydrogen-powered aircraft to advancements in fuel cell technology and the development of essential refueling infrastructure, the aviation industry is on the brink of a major transformation. ✈️ Curious about how these breakthroughs are shaping the future of air travel? Stay tuned for our next newsletter where we’ll dive deep into these groundbreaking developments and what they mean for a sustainable future in aviation! #HydrogenPower #CleanAviation #SustainableTravel #GreenAviation #finulent #finulentsolutions

The executive summary outlines the aviation industry's monumental challenge of transitioning to net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Various organizations, including International Air Transport Association (IATA) International Energy Agency (IEA) International Civil Aviation Organization and ATAG, have developed roadmaps to achieve this goal, each with unique pathways and strategies. Key findings from a comprehensive review of fourteen leading roadmaps include the significant role of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in emissions reduction, uncertainty surrounding hydrogen and battery-powered aircraft, and the necessity of market-based measures and carbon removal technologies to bridge the emissions gap. The report aims to help stakeholders better understand and compare these diverse pathways for aviation decarbonization.

The latest EU vision on Zero Emission Aircract has been published. Below are the some key insights: By 2050, Electric and Hydrogen powered aircraft could help abate up to 43 megatonnes (Mt) of CO2 annually on intra-European routes, reducing emissions by one-third. This shift is essential to meet the EU's Green Deal objectives of net-zero emissions by 2050. The adoption of electric and hydrogen propulsion is not only a climate imperative but also an economic opportunity. It is expected to create new markets and foster innovation Achieving the transition to electric and hydrogen-powered flights requires coordinated efforts across the aviation ecosystem and robust policy support from the European Union and national governments. #AZEA #sustainability #aviation #EU #EuropeanCommission
