The UK’s Sustainable Aviation coalition is set to release the fifth edition of its ‘carbon roadmaps’ which present an annual overview of what the air transport industry group sees as key opportunities for airlines and airports to decarbonize. The latest document will be published next month during the Sustainable Skies event to be held in Farnborough from April 17-18, will include the coalition’s perspective on the role that hydrogen propulsion could play in achieving the target of net zero carbon by 2050 and an update on efforts to significantly expand the availability of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
“We’re prioritizing work on SAF because this is available today,” Jonathan Counsell, the group’s former chair and member of its council, told FutureFlight. “Around 200,000 tons were available in 2022 and this needs to increase to millions of tons by the end of the 2020s.”
