Roland Berger this week published a roadmap to get the aviation industry to achieve its net zero environmental goals by 2050.
Hydrogen propulsion system pioneer ZeroAvia has been flight-testing a converted Piper M600 piston single and has laid plans to power larger aircraft in the future.

Even allowing for the hopefully short-term reduction of airline traffic volumes due to the Covid-19 pandemic, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will triple by 2050, according to aviation consultancy Roland Berger. In fact, current annual levels of 1 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions had appeared likely to quadruple by 2050, but now emission levels are set to fall during 2020, followed by some “muted growth” anticipated for the next few years, according to a new study released by the company on Tuesday during the FIA Connect event.
