A report by academics at the University of Cambridge, developed by the Aviation Impact Accelerator, highlights the urgent need for the aviation industry to take significant steps towards reducing emissions to achieve net zero by 2050. The report identifies four key goals for the industry to pursue by 2030. First, reducing the formation of contrails, which have a major climate impact, could cut aviation emissions by 40%. Second, implementing efficiency improvements, including faster aircraft replacement rates and optimized flight routes, could reduce fuel consumption by up to 50% by 2050. Third, reforming sustainable aviation fuel policies to expand production beyond biomass-based methods is crucial, given the limited availability of organic feedstocks. Finally, governments are urged to invest in demonstration programs for alternative aviation technologies like hydrogen and electric-powered aircraft. The report underscores the necessity for industry and government collaboration to drive these changes and advance sustainable practices in aviation to combat climate change effectively.
