Challenging pathway to aviation net-zero by 2050
EUROCONTROL’s latest Aviation Long-Term Outlook to 2050 provides crucial insights into the future of European aviation and its path towards sustainability. The report forecasts significant growth in air traffic, with the most likely scenario projecting 15.4 million flights in Europe by 2050, representing a 52% increase from 2023 levels (average

Airlines CO2 emissions for European airlines can be divided into three categories: CO2 emissions generated on domestic routes, intra-European routes, and International routes. Airlines’ CO2 emissions are reported to the corresponding authorities of each EEA member. For example, in Spain it is the Agencia Española de Seguridad Aére (AESA), which

The Union Registry serves to guarantee accurate accounting for all allowances issued under the EU emissions trading system (EU ETS). The registry keeps track of the ownership of allowances held in electronic accounts, just as a bank has a record of all its customers and their money. The EU ETS

Aviation’s impact on climate change extends beyond carbon dioxide emissions, encompassing a range of non-CO2 effects that play a significant role in the industry’s overall climate footprint. According to the German Environment Agency’s report, while aviation contributed approximately 2.5% of global man-made CO2 emissions in 2018, non-CO2 effects account for

Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) are emerging as a crucial solution to reduce the aviation industry’s carbon footprint. These fuels, derived from renewable sources such as waste oils, agricultural residues, and algae, can significantly lower CO2 emissions compared to conventional jet fuel. The European Union has set ambitious targets for SAF
