Iata, together with the Air Transportation Systems Laboratory at University College London, the Air Transport Action Group, the International Council on Clean Transportation, and the Mission Possible Partnership, have released the Aviation Net Zero CO₂ Transition Pathways Comparative Review.
This is the first publication to compare 14 leading net zero CO₂ transition roadmaps for aviation. The report aims to provide a “one-stop shop” for airlines, policymakers, and all aviation stakeholders to better understand the key similarities and differences between the various roadmaps, and their visions for achieving net zero carbon emissions for aviation by 2050.
Specifically, the report compares the selected roadmaps in terms of their scope, key input assumptions, modelled aviation energy demand, respective CO₂ emissions, and the emissions reduction potential of each mitigation lever (new aircraft technologies, zero-carbon fuels, SAF and operational improvements.
