Net Zero Aviation Fuels: resource requirements and environmental impacts policy briefing

Marcelle McManus

Research output: Book/ReportOther report

Abstract

Aviation is a contributor to global warming, including through the emissions of carbon dioxide and the formation of contrails high up in the atmosphere. Globally, save for the few years of the pandemic, air travel is expected to continue to grow in the future, increasing the impact on climate change unless a close to net zero form of flying can be developed or any residual emissions offset by removals.

If low carbon emission jet fuels are to have a strong positive impact on the UK’s Road to Net zero, it is important that the alternative fuels adopted are truly beneficial to the fight against the climate crisis and do not cause unacceptable collateral ecological damage.
