Sustainability

The head of sustainability at Spanish airline Iberia says Europe in general and Spain in particular are lagging behind when it comes to investment in sustainable aviation fuel.

United Airlines has added a planned biofuels refinery in Oregon to its list of sustainability-related investments.

As the push for sustainability escalates, safety professionals will be keeping a wary eye out for unintended consequences—and unacceptable risks.

Madrid-based Quality Fly says it has become the first flight school in the European Union to reach carbon neutrality.

As a vast swath of aviation is turning to hydrogen as a central path to a sustainable future, some efforts are beginning to crystallize into concrete advancemen

Braathens Regional Airlines is teaming up with Volvo Group to use 50% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on what the two groups say will be the world’s first 50% SAF commercial route.

By 2040, passengers could be flying between all regions of the UK on hydrogen-fueled aircraft, concludes a detailed study by a consortium of airports, manufacturers and academic institutions.

The airline has purchased SAF from Finnish fuel provider Neste for the operation of 40 flights between the two airports over a three-month period.

Negotiations on the 2050 long-term aspirational goal continued to the very end of the two-week assembly in Montreal

As Europe looks to introduce mandates requiring airlines to use sustainable aviation fuel, Asia does not have the infrastructure in place, AirAsia Group's chief sustainability officer says.

Finnish SAF producer Neste is working with Japan-based trading company Itochu and Fuji Oil Company on a pilot project aimed at validating the blending of SAF with conventional jet fuel in Japan.

Speaking at the GAD World conference in Amsterdam, Heathrow Airport CFO Javier Echave said setting requirements would create a “pipeline of consumption.”

It is the latest in a series of SAF-related announcements as airlines and tech companies seek to increase supply of the fuels in a bid to help aviation decarbonize.

Upcoming flight trials by Universal Hydrogen mark a key milestone on the road to zero-carbon-emission air travel.

The past might yield fuel-savings and emission-reducing solutions for regional transport and larger aircraft.

Efforts to build up U.S. sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production capacity to at least 3 billion gal. a year by 2030 have taken steps forward, with startups Alder Fuels and LanzaJet announcing progress in establishing their first plants.

Switching to hydrogen, from conventional Jet-A1 kerosene, can arguably be seen as a moonshot for commercial aviation.

In the range of solutions to drive aviation to a greener future, none alone will come close to being a silver bullet by 2050.

Starting to implement its strategy for the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), the Air France-KLM group has signed multi-year contracts with suppliers Neste and DG Fuels.

The transport ministers of six EU countries have discussed short-term measures to curb demand for air transport and thus aviation’s CO2 emissions.

SAF is seen as the most realistic near-term option to cut aviation emissions, but securing more supply is an obstacle for the industry.

The two groups are challenging the government on the basis that Jet Zero breaches the UK Climate Change Act, because it fails to ensure that the UK’s carbon budgets will be met.

Biomass-based SAF offers scalability advantages.

It’s enough fuel to reduce 62,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.

UK-based SATAVIA is seeking carbon-credit accreditation and preparing for its first auction, after using its contrail-prevention methodology to adjust 49 Etihad Airways and KLM commercial flights.
