The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) reaffirmed its commitment to industry-wide decarbonization and its long-term goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050 last week at its Third Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels (CAAF/3).

At the Dubai event, the organization adopted a new global framework on the acceptance of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), lower carbon aviation fuels (LCAF), and other greener energy sources as it and its member states agreed to a goal of reducing CO2 emissions in international aviation by 5 percent by 2030, compared with non-use of these fuels.
