Sustainable Aviation

Purpose of this report
In April 2023 Sustainable Aviation launched its updated Net Zero Carbon Road-Map which illustrates Sustainable Aviation’s view of a pathway to achieving Net Zero Carbon emissions from UK aviation activity by the year 2050. A Summary Report was published in April 2023. This Technical Report provides further rationale, assumptions and data utilised to compile the Road-Map. Therefore the Summary Report and this document, the Technical Report, should be read in conjunction with each other.
Achieving net zero carbon for aviation will be harder than for most sectors, but it is achievable. It can only be delivered through an international approach, with substantial investment from industry, especially the aviation, energy, carbon removal and waste industries, and development of effective low carbon policies by the UK Government, working in partnership with the sector.
