The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has set ambitious targets to achieve 'net zero carbon emissions' in aviation by 2050. Global flights contributed a massive 915 million tonnes of CO2 to the atmosphere in 2019, highlighting the urgent need for intervention as emissions could reach 1.8 billion tons by 2050. With the aviation industry currently accounting for 2.1% of human-induced CO2 emissions, exploring alternative pathways like converting CO2 into fuels has gained traction globally. Organizations such as the IEA, IPCC, and the World Economic Forum advocate for renewable and synthetic fuels to combat climate change, emphasizing the industry's transition towards sustainability. Liquid fuels derived from petroleum offer high energy density crucial for the transportation sector, with synthetic fuels providing an indirect pathway from low-carbon electricity to energy-dense applications. Two primary methods for CO2 conversion into liquid fuels exist: indirect routes involving CO or methanol and direct routes via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The Norsk e-Fuel project exemplifies the utilization of FT synthesis in Europe, with promising production capacities. By leveraging CCUS technologies for synthetic aviation fuels, the aviation sector can lead the way in achieving net-zero emissions, promoting a greener and more sustainable future.
