Low-Carbon Flight: Unlocking Future Fuelling Solutions

Aviation accounts for 2-3% of global emissions, with the sector set to grow significantly over the coming decades. Decarbonising the sector will therefore be critical to achieving global climate targets.

Sustainable aviation fuel and emerging technologies such as green hydrogen will play a central role in reducing the aviation sector’s carbon footprint However, scaling these solutions will require overcoming major barriers, from high production costs and uncertain demand to the infrastructure needed to support new fuel systems.

• What key barriers still need to be overcome to accelerate the decarbonisation of the aviation sector?
• How can corporate offtake agreements, airline commitments and long-term demand signals help de-risk investment in sustainable aviation fuels?
• What role should policy incentives and regulation play in scaling SAF production and deployment?
