Explore the billion-euro landscape of Sustainable Aviation Fuels, as we unravel the market dynamics, conquer supply chain challenges, and envision business models that could redefine the aviation industry. 🛫

Sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, is a major element of decarbonising the aviation sector. But SAF also has cost, production and other challenges. Explore five key questions that value chain participants will need to consider in developing their near-term plans to deliver SAF. https://bit.ly/3EkeO69 #LEKSustainability #sustainableaviationfuel #aviation #sustainability

The journey towards achieving net-zero aviation began years ago as airlines and industry stakeholders acknowledged the pressing need to address aviation emissions. A pivotal moment arrived in 2022 when the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established the goal of attaining net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from international aviation by 2050. As the industry evolves, emerging technologies like sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and electric propulsion are taking center stage in the quest to reduce emissions. However, implementing net-zero strategies isn't without its hurdles. Technological barriers, regulatory complexities, and financial considerations all pose significant challenges along the way. Despite these obstacles, the aviation sector remains committed to overcoming them and achieving its environmental goals. Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/eTQgpFQG

Showcasing just one of the (numerous) difficulties to a sustainable future. Interesting read on the pathway towards sustainable aviation fuel.

The aviation industry 🛫 plays a vital role in fostering global connectivity and economic prosperity. However, its reliance on fossil fuels presents a significant challenge – contributing an estimated 2-3% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This issue becomes even more pressing considering forecasts by BloombergNEF that predict a substantial increase in air travel demand by 2050. To make aviation more sustainable, a revolutionary technology called Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) holds immense promise.

SUSTAINABILITY & AVIATION Very enlightening presentation by Klaus Radermacher at the European Regions Airline Association conference in Berlin! Aviation today - based on a holistic scientific and qualitative analysis including the entire crucial path infrastructure rather than wishful thinking or political ideology - already is the most energy- and CO2-efficient means of transportation with regards to person per kilometer. #sustainability #aviation #businessaviation #globalmobility

✈️ Decarbonising the aviation industry will play a significant role in helping global economies achieve their net-zero goals. The global aviation sector currently accounts for 2% of carbon emissions, but that figure is set to grow considerably over the next decade. Explore the five concrete steps the aviation industry can take to scale sustainable fuels in pursuit of its net-zero goals: https://pwc.to/3QlPZwa #Aviation #Sustainability

Focus on sustainability – both a challenge and an opportunity In 2023, the aviation sector saw strong signs of recovery, with the remnants of post-pandemic restrictions being lifted across the world. However, the war in Ukraine and the subsequent closing down of airspace over Russia, the Hamas-Israel conflict, and a general sense of geopolitical instability around the world added its fair share of challenges. And while the commercial aviation sector continued an upward growth trajectory, private aviation saw an understandable correction and the normalization of demand. In Europe, governments are becoming increasingly sensitive to sustainability. Even though the private aviation sector is accountable for just 0.02% of greenhouse gas emissions, the sector continues to be under heightened scrutiny. Austria, France and the Netherlands have all expressed the desire to curb the impact of private jet travel on the climate. We already see first signs of this change, for example, Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport announcing plans to ban private jets altogether.  In its most recent 41st Assembly, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established a new baseline for the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), setting it at 85% of the emissions levels recorded in 2019. This adjustment applies from 2024 through to the scheme's conclusion in 2035, marking a considerably more stringent target than initially anticipated. Notably, this decision has garnered substantial support from the industry, including from private aviation charter companies.  “Ultimately, while pressure from both regulators and society poses its fair share of challenges, it encourages the industry to put an effort into reducing emissions,” Justinas Bulka, CEO of KlasJet, says.
