Can we achieve "jet zero" (net zero aviation) by 2050? This Insight article explores the key challenges to sustainable aviation, government interventions, alternatives to traditional jet fuel, and strategies for airport decarbonisation. What are your views? #netzero #sustainability #aviation #saf

"Show me the money" 💵 This topic of discussion at the upcoming Sustainable Skies World Summit, will explore the crucial subject of unlocking investments to achieve sustainable growth within the aviation industry.   Alexandre de Joybert, Sustainability Director of European Region of the Airports Council International, spoke at #SSWS23, sharing his thoughts on the need for public and private sector funding to acquire the necessary infrastructure to accommodate future aircraft powered by sustainable aviation fuel (#SAF).   It's vital to bring scrutiny to different aspects of aviation operations to align our efforts towards the common goal and global collaboration is key to advancing the industry's journey to reach #NetZero.   Join the conversation at #SSWS24 as we bring the aviation industry together once more to discuss the vital steps needed to achieve a more sustainable future for the aviation industry.   📲 Book your FREE pass today: https://lnkd.in/e2VNZfuP   #SustainableAviation #SustainableSkies #JetZero #AerospaceEvents #OperationalEfficiency 

Conferences are so important when you meet such enthousiastic stakeholders and debate with them about the future of a more sustainable aviation (dangerous words if you are interested in greenwashing!). Debating with my copanelists on greenwashing has been a real pleasure! #aviation #sustainability #greenwashing #saf

In case you missed it! Take a look at the recent article by one of our South West ambassadors Alex Chikhani MBA CMgr FCMI, where he explores how the aviation sector can embrace sustainability. https://lnkd.in/eZtbNPTU

Achieving Net Zero: The Future of Aviation The global aviation industry is taking bold steps towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This ambitious goal requires coordinated efforts across airlines, airports, air navigation service providers, and manufacturers. Key Strategies for Net Zero: ❕Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF): SAF is expected to contribute about 65% of the emissions reduction needed to reach net-zero. Despite its current usage being less than 0.1% of all jet fuel, scaling up production is critical. SAF can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional jet fuel. ❕Operational Improvements: Enhancing operational efficiency, such as optimizing flight routes and air traffic management, can cut emissions by up to 10%. Initiatives like the Single European Sky and the NextGen program in the U.S. are key examples. ❕Regulatory and Policy Support: Harmonized policies and incentives are essential to drive SAF adoption and foster innovation. Together, we can make a significant impact. Let's support and contribute to a sustainable future for aviation.🌿🚀 Sources: IATA, World Economic Forum, McKinsey & Company #Sustainability #Aviation #NetZero #SAF #ClimateAction

Flying is deeply ingrained in our society, with the average person taking over 200 flights in their lifetime. Aviation is a significant contributor to climate change, accounting for about 2% of global GHG emissions but adopting sustainable aviation fuel enables us to modernize travel without the hefty carbon footprint. Here's how AIR COMPANY plans to decarbonize air travel:

✈️ Preparing for take off! According to our recent survey, 80% of respondents are ready to fly exclusively on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (#SAF)-powered flights. 👥 We, at EPICO KlimaInnovation, share the urgency and drive to decarbonise the #aviation sector. Tomorrow in Brussels, a team of experts will dive deep into this topic during our Policy Accelerator. A decarbonisation agenda for aviation is an economic and industrial opportunity for the EU & #Germany to lead the global transformation of this sector. As a world leader in aerospace and aviation, Germany can be a motor in developing #hydrogen use in aviation. 🚧 However, we must navigate numerous challenges, particularly the technical barriers that currently limit the widespread use of SAF and other alternatives. 📰 Our workshop aims to develop concrete policy options to decarbonise the aviation sector. The discussions will feed into a publication for the next European cycle. Watch this space for more information on our Policy Accelerator! 

I had an incredibly engaging two days at the 2024 Sustainable Skies World Summit in Farnborough, where industry leaders, academia, and the aviation community came together to discuss the future of sustainable aviation. My key takeaways: 🌍 International Collaboration: There's an overwhelming consensus that global cooperation is essential for achieving sustainable aviation. 🌱 Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF): Large quantities of SAF are needed as soon as possible, but all SAF must earn its 'S'. 📊 Uncertainty: Future projections and roadmaps must transparently report uncertainties to ensure realistic planning and implementation. ✈️ Non-CO2: The non-CO2 impacts of aviation require significantly more research and were a major topic of discussion. #SustainableAviation #SAF #NonCO2 #Research

It was an honour and pleasure to be one of the speakers at the ESG conference - transformation and future of the aviation sector organized at the Lazarski University in Warsaw. My contribution:  sustainable future of aviation entities - airports, airlines, aircraft manufacturers and air navigation services.

I am happy to share an optimistic outlook on #aviation to help kickstart your week well. I am very pleased to say that the Institute of Directors (IoD) have previously shared this article I wrote about how we can expect the aviation sector to develop into a more sustainable existence over the coming years. There will, of course, be challenges along the path, but we still must hope for the best, plan for the worst, and work hard to bridge that abyss. CirculAIRity are facing these challenges head-on and making impressive progress on multiple fronts; watch this space for #announcements! #SAF #Sustainableaviation #sustainableaviationfuel #airlines #sustainability
