“Aviation will use all the technologies available to reach its #FlyNetZero 2050 target, but carbon capture will be a key tool for the foreseeable future,” says Michael Schneider, IATA’s Assistant Director, Environmental Programs. "Carbon capture, especially Direct Air Capture (DAC), is probably the best way to deal with emissions. DAC takes CO2 out of the air, which is exactly what we want. If we use it to produce sustainable aviation fuels (#SAF), it becomes an in-sector solution." "And most importantly, it will provide permanent carbon removal."

“Sustainable aviation fuels slash emissions by 80%.” New research conducted by the National Centre for Atmospheric Science and The University of Manchester has shown that sustainable aviation fuels can reduce aviation emissions by up to 80%.

International Air Transport Association (IATA) with its partners released the "Aviation Net Zero CO2 Transition Pathways Comparative Review". This publication compares 14 leading net zero CO2 transition roadmaps for aviation and attempts to better understand the key similarities and differences between the various roadmaps, and their visions for achieving net zero carbon emissions for aviation by 2050. The report compares the selected roadmaps in terms of their scope, key input assumptions, modeled aviation energy demand, respective CO2 emissions, and the emissions reduction potential of each mitigation lever (new aircraft technologies, zero-carbon fuels, SAF, and operational improvements). Highlights: - All roadmaps assume that Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) will be responsible for the greatest amount of CO2 reductions by 2050. The role of SAF varies from 24%-70% (with a median value of 53%). - Technology and operational efficiency improvements are expected to together contribute to about 30% of the emissions reduction in 2050. - The emissions savings by hydrogen and battery-powered aircraft vary greatly. - To achieve net zero CO2 emissions in 2050, the aviation sector will need help from market-based measures and carbon removals to address the residual emissions in 2050. - Even if carbon removal technologies are considered an out-of-sector mitigation measure, it is still both urgent and critical to develop these technologies as CO2 will be needed as feedstock for producing power-to-liquid (PtL) fuels.

Excellent publication from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) outlining roadmaps for the future of the aviation industry towards Net Zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (#SAF) emerges as a critical player in this journey, creating opportunities for #investors and #developers!

Showcasing how advanced air mobility can cut congestion, improve air quality and decarbonise transport, Urban-Air Port is the world’s first vertical take-off hub. Taking advantage of digital tools, we engineered an ultra-compact, rapidly deployable hub that is 60% smaller than traditional helipads. 100% of the components are reusable and the hub can be operated completely off-grid, powered by zero-emission fuel cells. This prototype provides a blueprint for 200 planned hubs worldwide over the next five years. Discover more about this project in our latest report - “The Built Environment: Designing for people, place and planet”. Bringing together some great examples of buildings that are fit for the future, this issue showcases how we can achieve decarbonisation and net zero carbon goals while delivering positive outcomes for people, place and planet.

Interesting application of Direct Air Capture technology (DAC) to offset emissions in the aviation industry while working towards decarbonization goals. We know there are concerns about DAC’s net footprint and long-term impact. I was curious about the 1PointFive projects; it seems they have committed to use zero-emissions energy sources (https://lnkd.in/gJ9BFxvf.) Aviation is a hard-to-abate industry and I certainly look forward to the possibility of flying with a net-zero footprint.
