IATA
IATA’s Energy Forum brought together key stakeholders from across the world to discuss the energy transition challenges facing the industry and propose achievable solutions.
There is no doubt that aviation’s future lies in the ability to fly sustainably. Even though aviation is an instrument of trade, prosperity, and peace on a global scale, it has committed to net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. It is the first industry to have a roadmap to achieve this aim.
Already, it is known that sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) will be vital. Though new propulsion systems, including electric and hydrogen, offer potentially significant reduction in CO2, the technology is still some way off.
Various panels and speakers at the Forum therefore confirmed that aviation must pursue innovation where it exists—and SAF are a proven and scalable way to get to reduce emissions
