CO₂ emissions from the aviation industry are projected to triple by 2050, highlighting the urgent need for decarbonization in air travel. Imperial's Brahmal Vasudevan Institute for Sustainable Aviation is leading the charge in developing sustainable aviation technologies to combat climate change. Professor Rafael Palacios emphasizes the importance of rethinking aviation's impact on the environment and exploring sustainable solutions like hydrogen, biofuels, and power-to-liquid fuels. Researcher Swapnil Jagtap's pioneering work on a hydrogen-powered blended wing body aircraft has garnered attention, offering a vision of zero-emission flights. However, challenges such as infrastructure readiness and carbon-intensive hydrogen production pose hurdles in scaling such innovations globally. Jagtap's exploration of various production methods underscores the complexity of transitioning to cleaner aviation systems. Despite the obstacles, the Institute remains dedicated to fostering sustainable and safe air travel for the future.
