Aviation's sustainability journey encompasses understanding Scopes 1, 2, and 3 of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: direct, indirect, and supply chain emissions. Yet, Scope 4, often overlooked, holds significant importance. Scope 4 emissions, also known as avoided emissions or positive impacts, present both opportunities and controversies in aviation's environmental discourse. In our latest ab initio primer, we delve deep into the nuances of Scope 4 emissions, distinguishing genuine low-carbon efforts from greenwashing tactics. As aviation strives towards greater sustainability, it's crucial to discern between meaningful actions and superficial claims. Join us in exploring the complexities of aviation sustainability and uncovering strategies to effectively manage emissions in the industry. Stay informed and engaged as we navigate towards a greener future for aviation.

RSB and To70 Aviation have published a case study, funded by ClimateWorks Foundation, on the non-CO₂ impact of sustainable aviation fuels (#SAF). As #airports aim to lead the #aviation sector’s shift towards #sustainability through collaboration with all stakeholders, it is crucial for them to address their emission footprint. In addition to CO₂, aircraft engines emit a range of other pollutants, known as non-CO₂ emissions. To effectively mitigate these impacts, airports can use #SAF by integrating them into their operations. Understanding the challenges and applying the best practices, which are provided in this case study, can help airports overcome obstacles and realise long-term benefits of integrating SAF into their operations to reduce CO₂ and non-CO₂.

The aviation industry is responsible for around 2-3% of global carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, the industry is working towards finding long-term solutions to reduce emissions and to achieve #NetZero.   One of the most promising solutions being researched is Carbon Removal and research indicates that it could have a significant impact on drastically reducing the sector's environmental footprint.   To learn more about Carbon Removal, one of the key themes of #SSWS24, you can check out our blog post "Transforming Aviation through Carbon Removal." through accessing the link below! 📲 https://lnkd.in/etqR95ZJ #SSWS24 #SustainableSkies #SustainaleAviation #NetZero #JetZero #CarbonRemoval #AerospaceEvents

International Air Transport Association (IATA) and partners have released the Aviation Net Zero CO2 Transition Pathways Comparative Review, comparing 14 leading net zero CO2 transition roadmaps for aviation. The review finds all roadmaps assume that Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) will be responsible for the greatest amount of CO2 reductions by 2050. #SAF #Sustainableaviation https://lnkd.in/g2Mk25zp

Aviation industry has set a target to reach the net zero carbon emissions status by 2050. Where are we at the moment on the path to this goal? Check my latest blog about the topic! heininoronenjuhola.com #aviation #sustainability #environment #business http://wix.to/Pfj6YJA

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.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA)'s Comparative Review of Aviation Net Zero Co2 Transition Pathways shares some interesting findings, including " In terms of absolute emissions reductions by various mitigation options, we found that the mitigation potential of a given option is determined again by the purpose of the roadmaps". It also states that "Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is assumed to deliver the highest emissions savings in the energy transition of the aviation sector to reach net zero by 2050", ranging between 24-70% reduction, highlighting the importance of #SAF in coming years of sustainable aviation.

“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."

The International Air Transport Association (IATA), together with the Air Transportation Systems Laboratory at University College London (UCL), the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), the The International Council on Clean Transportation and the Mission Possible Partnership, have released the Aviation Net Zero CO2 Transition Pathways Comparative Review. This groundbreaking publication marks the first comprehensive analysis comparing 14 prominent net zero CO2 transition roadmaps for aviation and aims to provide a “one-stop shop” for airlines, policymakers and all aviation stakeholders to better understand their visions for achieving net zero carbon emissions for aviation by 2050 and more. “The Aviation Net Zero CO2 Transition Pathways Comparative Review demonstrates that there are multiple levers that can be used in different combinations to achieve the objective of decarbonising aviation by 2050,” said Marie Owens Thomsen, IATA’s Senior Vice President Sustainability and Chief Economist.

An Important Need for Sustainable Aviation Solution: The exponential growth in air traffic volume and the concurrent surge in greenhouse gas emissions have underscored the pressing necessity for advancing sustainable aviation initiatives. A concerted and comprehensive effort has been directed toward accommodating the burgeoning requirements inherent in the pursuit of maximally sustainable aviation solutions. Novel methodologies, exemplified by the innovative hydrogen fuel gas, are contemporarily under rigorous evaluation as prospective avenues for achieving net-zero emissions and augmenting the overarching sustainability profile of aviation products. #Automotive #MDPI
