Clean energies are key to enable the decarbonisation of aviation. Sustainable Aviation Fuels, both ''drop-in'' and ''non drop-in'' alternative fuels to conventional jet kerosene, are one of the main pathways explored today by the aviation community. Drop-in alternative fuels represents a major opportunity to reduce today's aviation carbon emissions. Synthetic fuels are among the most promising options. Also called power-to-liquid (PtL) or e-fuels, synthetic fuels are often considered a sustainable option in the long term, due to their low lifecycle emissions and other environmental impacts. Initiatives and uses have multiplied in recent years. However, they still represent a niche fuel type and major challenges need to be overcome in order to ensure their large scale development and deployment. These challenges include renewables energy production scaled-up, cost competitiveness and infrastructure widespread support.
Inventing the aviation of tomorrow is a unique occasion to adopt green innovations, but also to think about the mobility of tomorrow differently, both over long and short distances. Urban air mobility is a whole new aspect of air transport that offers new opportunities to aviation stakeholders. I...
Clean energies are key to enable the decarbonisation of aviation. Clean energy production, transport and storage are all essential aspects to meet aviation needs. A range of clean energy types of fuels are being considered today by the aviation community, including ''drop-in'' aviation fuels, rel...
