Pioneering a Multi-Front Strategy Toward Emissions Reduction Singapore Airlines Group has taken another decisive step in the aviation sector’s sustainability transition by securing new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) agreements with two global producers—Neste and World Energy. These recent developments are not just about fuel supply. They are part of a […]

Rethinking the Narrative Around Sustainable Aviation Fuel In the ongoing pursuit of decarbonization, the aviation industry has come under increasing scrutiny for its environmental footprint. While much of the attention has focused on airlines and emerging technologies, a crucial yet often underappreciated ally in this transition has been Europe’s fuel

A Regional Alliance for Climate-Smart Aviation Aviation in the Asia-Pacific region stands at a strategic crossroads. With travel demand rising and climate challenges intensifying, the sector must reimagine how it fuels its growth. Enter Green Fuel Forward—a regional initiative jointly launched by the World Economic Forum and GenZero. This program

A Strategic Shift in the Global Aviation Decarbonisation Journey The Asia-Pacific region is fast emerging as a pivotal force in the global effort to decarbonise aviation. With the recent launch of Green Fuel Forward by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with GenZero, a new chapter begins in the journey

A New Flight Path for Carbon In a bold move that reimagines waste as resource, United Airlines has partnered with California-based Twelve to transform carbon dioxide into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This collaboration is not merely a financial transaction—it is a signal of a new industrial logic where emissions are

In a quietly powerful move, Copenhagen Airport and its partners have initiated a study that could subtly reshape the future of aviation fuel use. The project—FuelTrack—marks the first real-world campaign to create a scientifically validated dataset linking jet fuel properties with actual aircraft emissions. It is a technical study, yes—but

Emissions Recovery as a Strategic Mirror Recent findings from a Brussels-based think tank have revealed that carbon dioxide emissions from UK-departing flights are projected to surpass 2019 levels within the year. This data, while concerning, offers more than just a warning. It presents an under-discussed opportunity for systemic recalibration across

New Momentum in the Quest for Cleaner Skies The private aviation sector has traditionally drawn scrutiny for its disproportionate environmental footprint. Yet in a turn that hints at deeper shifts in priorities, Wheels Up has unveiled a program that brings sustainable aviation fuel into clearer focus for its clients. This

The Clean Thrust Revolution In a world desperate to curb the environmental toll of fossil fuels, a quiet but powerful shift is underway. A group of researchers has unveiled a jet engine design that bypasses combustion entirely, turning only air and electricity into usable thrust. This is not a marginal

Beyond Carbon: Understanding Aviation’s Full Climate Impact When we talk about the environmental footprint of aviation, CO2 emissions often dominate the conversation. Yet, this focus overlooks a significant component of the industry’s climate impact—non-CO2 effects such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and contrail-induced cirrus clouds. These short-lived climate pollutants are estimated
