The aviation industry is soaring toward a greener horizon, thanks to an innovation that transforms polystyrene, a common plastic waste, into ethylbenzene—a key additive in sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). This groundbreaking discovery represents a vital step forward in reducing aviation’s carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels. A Revolutionary Leap […]

Aligning Aviation with Sustainability Goals Aviation plays a crucial role in global connectivity, but it is also a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is a vital regulatory tool aimed at reducing aviation’s carbon footprint. A recent draft proposal by the EU aims

A Vision for a Greener Future in Aviation Cargolux, Europe’s leading all-cargo airline, is making waves with its ambitious plans to expand into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production and distribution. This bold move aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the aviation sector while addressing critical challenges like

The European Union (EU) is taking decisive steps to tackle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in aviation, one of the fastest-growing sources of climate pollution. Among its ambitious initiatives is ReFuelEU, a policy framework designed to scale up the production and adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) across Europe. SAFs are

The UK government has initiated a vital consultation focusing on the intersection of the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the United Nations’ Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). This dialogue is a pivotal moment for the aviation industry as it seeks to balance regulatory frameworks, economic

The aviation sector in the United Kingdom reached a pivotal milestone on January 1, 2025, as the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate officially came into effect. This groundbreaking legislation requires that SAF constitute 2% of the total fuel mix for flights departing from the UK starting next year. While the

Transparency and Sustainability in Aviation In a groundbreaking move, the European Commission has unveiled the EU Flight Emissions Label (FEL). This initiative offers air passengers standardized and transparent information on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with their flights. By making this information publicly accessible, the FEL empowers travellers to
