A recent study published in Environmental Science & Technology emphasizes the need for alternative measures beyond fuel switching to align the aviation sector with climate neutrality targets. While aviation contributes 2.4% of global CO2 emissions, its impact on global warming is higher due to short-lived climate forcers. The study discusses the importance of addressing both CO2 and non-CO2 effects to achieve emissions reductions in line with ambitious climate goals. Researchers highlight the potential of replacing fossil jet fuels with alternative fuels like hydrogen or ammonia. However, the production of these fuels would require substantial renewable energy. A study by Norwegian researchers evaluated the mitigation potential of alternative fuels for domestic flights, showcasing varying impacts based on flight distance and fleet composition. The study reveals that renewable energy equivalent to a significant portion of Norway's annual electricity production would be needed to produce alternative fuels for domestic flights alone. Liquid hydrogen and power-to-liquid fuels show promise in reducing emissions, but market readiness and further investments are required. The research stresses the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between engineering and climate sciences to address the challenges in transitioning the aviation sector towards sustainability. The study provides valuable insights for researchers and decision-makers engaged in climate change mitigation in aviation and transport sectors. Overall, the study underscores the significance of sustainable aviation practices and the role of alternative fuels in mitigating climate impacts.
