Rethinking Climate Strategies Beyond Carbon Dioxide The conversation around aviation and climate impact has long centered on carbon dioxide. Yet scientists and aerospace leaders are increasingly shifting focus to a parallel threat — non-CO2 emissions, especially contrails. These elusive streaks across the sky may hold the key to significant climate […]

Introduction: An Opportunity to Soar Higher Europe finds itself at a remarkable crossroads. With climate policies for aviation poised to transform the sector, there is a genuine opportunity to accelerate towards a future that is cleaner, more resilient, and globally influential. Rather than seeing resistance as a setback, it should

Understanding the Shift: Moving Beyond Fuel to Carbon Markets A quiet yet transformative development is unfolding in the world of sustainable aviation. Gevo, a clean energy pioneer, and Future Energy Global (FEG), a market accelerator, have inked a multi-year agreement that has the potential to reshape how airlines and corporates

Introduction to a Transformative Move The year 2025 marks a pivotal moment for aviation in the United Kingdom. With the introduction of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel mandate, the country signals a clear commitment to decarbonising air travel. This development arrives alongside government support for expanding runways at major airports, aligning

Introduction to a Groundbreaking Collaboration In a notable advancement for aviation sustainability, two global leaders are deepening their alliance. International Airlines Group and a renowned technology corporation have taken a significant step forward by extending their joint commitment to sustainable aviation fuel. This is not just another corporate announcement. It

A Milestone for European Terminals In a notable step toward reshaping the carbon footprint of private aviation, six prominent European airports are preparing to introduce blended sustainable aviation fuel starting in 2025. This includes major hubs like Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Paris Le Bourget, East Midlands, and Manchester. These additions mark

Rethinking the Way, We Fuel Flight In the evolving landscape of aviation, the conversation around emissions is no longer just about future goals. It is now about the mechanisms that can deliver immediate impact. One such mechanism making quiet but significant strides is the Book and Claim system—a concept gaining

A New Era for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Governance A notable transformation is underway in the global aviation sector. The formation of a new not-for-profit body, the Civil Aviation Decarbonization Organization based in Montreal, marks a significant step toward harmonizing and scaling the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel across the globe.

A Major Leap Toward Clean Skies In a landmark move for the aviation industry, Farnborough Airport in the United Kingdom has taken a decisive step toward cleaner skies. The airport has entered into a strategic offtake agreement for 12.5 million litres of sustainable aviation fuel with Hydrogen Refinery, a pioneering

A Quiet Revolution on the Tarmac The global push for decarbonisation is reshaping aviation’s future. With electric, hybrid-electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft approaching commercial maturity, a quiet yet profound transformation is underway—not just in the skies but on the ground. Airports are increasingly recognised not only as transit nodes but as

A Price Tag with Purpose This year, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) released the 2024 reference prices for aviation fuels under the ReFuelEU Aviation regulation. More than a routine update, this pricing reveals a deeper narrative: sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is no longer a future ambition—it is the

How an Upgraded CO2 Calculator Strengthens Aviation’s Sustainable Fuel Effort A Shift Toward Accountability and Precision As aviation embraces decarbonization, the question on many minds—corporate and individual alike—is simple: how much difference does sustainable aviation fuel really make? For years, this answer was vague. But now, a quiet leap forward

Understanding Contrails Beyond the Vapour Contrails are the streaks of cloud that trail behind high-flying aircraft. While they appear harmless, research now confirms their significant role in trapping heat in the atmosphere. These high-altitude clouds, formed in ice-supersaturated regions, reflect solar radiation but also retain Earth’s heat. This warming impact

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a key component of decarbonizing the aviation industry. However, many companies struggle with the complexities of acquiring and utilizing it. World Fuel Services has introduced a solution that aims to simplify the process—myWorld Decarbonize Tool. This innovative platform streamlines SAF purchases via book and claim,

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has taken another bold step toward corporate decarbonization with its latest draft of the Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2. This revision seeks to remove longstanding barriers to effective emissions reduction while ensuring that businesses worldwide can set and achieve their sustainability goals with greater clarity
