Aviation

The aviation sector is under increasing pressure to demonstrate genuine progress on sustainability. With the introduction of the EU Flight Emissions Label (FEL), airlines now have to make their emissions performance visible to passengers at the point of booking. While this creates opportunities for transparency and trust, it also introduces […]

Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonize, yet it is also under growing pressure to deliver measurable climate action. Two powerful tools are converging to shape this journey: Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and the EU Flight Emissions Label (FEL). Together, they represent both a compliance requirement and a

The EU Flight Emissions Label (FEL) is a game-changer for aviation sustainability. It provides a harmonized way for passengers to see how their flight choices impact the environment, while ensuring airlines report emissions transparently. To help airlines, passengers, and stakeholders understand the essentials, here are answers to the most common

Ethanol Becomes Jet Fuel Japan Airlines is partnering on a demonstration unit that converts widely available ethanol into drop in jet fuel. The approach requires no engine modifications and can integrate with existing airport logistics. A non obvious insight is that ethanol to jet synthesis operates at relatively low pressure,

New rules at a glance Sweden is rewriting its aviation rulebook to ensure that all domestic flights operate without fossil fuel by 2030 and that international departures follow by 2045. The plan combines progressive sustainable aviation fuel quotas with rapid certification pathways for electric and hybrid aircraft. By clarifying timelines

Why Removals Matter Air New Zealand has taken a decisive step toward decarbonising flight by signing an agreement with My Native Forest to purchase eight thousand tonnes of verified carbon removals by 2030. Unlike conventional offset credits that simply avoid emissions elsewhere, removal credits represent carbon physically stored in newly

Queensland Sugarcane as Renewable Powerhouse The Australian Sugar Manufacturers association is championing a forty million dollar partnership with government that could transform familiar cane fields into a national clean energy asset. By fermenting juice molasses and plant residue, the industry estimates it can meet thirty percent of Australian jet fuel

Moving Toward a Cleaner Sky As aviation races toward net-zero emissions, one solution stands out: sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Unlike other technologies still in development, SAF can be used in today’s aircraft with minimal changes. It replaces fossil jet fuel while using existing infrastructure — a major advantage for airlines

A Major Step for Clean Skies India is preparing to begin production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by the end of 2025, marking a significant move toward cleaner air travel. This development, supported by the International Civil Aviation Organization, reflects the nation’s growing commitment to reducing emissions in the aviation

The aviation sector is subject to a growing number of climate-related measures aimed at reducing emissions. Among these, the EU Flight Emissions Label (FEL) is unique. While other mechanisms like the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), CORSIA, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandates are already shaping airline strategies, the FEL

The aviation industry is undergoing one of its most significant transformations in decades. At the heart of this change is the EU Flight Emissions Label (FEL)—a tool designed to provide greater transparency about the environmental impact of air travel. Much like the energy labels consumers see on household appliances, the

Why This Matters Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways have just set an encouraging precedent for global aviation. The two companies became the first commercial carriers to publicly retire carbon credits under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation CORSIA. In doing so they converted a policy framework

Roadmap Highlights The Ministries of Land Infrastructure and Transport plus Trade Industry and Energy issued a Sustainable Aviation Fuel Roadmap. It begins in 2027 with a one percent mandate for every international departure, rises toward three to five percent by 2030, and targets seven to ten percent by 2035, with

The aviation sector is one of the hardest to decarbonise. Aircraft depend on high-energy-density fuels, and alternatives like hydrogen and electric propulsion remain years away from large-scale commercial viability. Recognising this challenge, the European Union has introduced the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation (EU 2023/2405), a cornerstone of its strategy to achieve

As the world accelerates efforts to decarbonise aviation, two major frameworks are shaping the path forward: the European Union’s ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation (EU 2023/2405) and the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). While both aim to reduce aviation’s climate impact, they take
