“Algae-derived sustainable aviation fuels are functionally, chemically, and performance-wise fully compatible with existing aviation fuels, and are derived from oils extracted from algae,” Laurens tells us. “These oils can look chemically indistinguishable from biofuels derived from — for example — soybean oil, but the advantage of algae as a source…
Airports are an important piece of the aviation sustainability puzzle, both due to their local environmental impacts and to the growing availability of lower-carbon, lower-emissions options to replace older and less sustainable equipment. We sat down for a deep-dive with Andrea Caudill, climate and energy consultant at the Port of…
Sustainable aviation fuels, or SAFs, are a critical part of aviation’s decarbonisation journey. But not all SAFs are as green as the others, with some marked differences in sustainability across their production pathways. For more on how the science is shaping up, we talked with experts from energy nonprofit RMI…
If there’s one megatrend overarching all at the moment, it’s sustainability. A thread of acknowledgement that aviation is difficult to decarbonise, yet striving to do whatever can be done, whenever and however it can be done, permeates our discussions across the industry this year. So what’s coming up for sustainability?…
Aviation is becoming increasingly familiar with Scopes 1, 2 and 3 of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, which can be summarised as direct, indirect and supply/value chain emissions. But Scope 4 emissions, often called avoided emissions or positive impacts, are also important to understand — though certainly controversial in concept and in…
Technology-driven sustainability efforts show much promise in aviation’s decarbonisation drive, yet tech stacks here face key questions of data ownership, integration — and how to incorporate AI into the mix. We sat down for a wide-ranging discussion to learn more with Lukas Kaestner, chief development officer at Hamburg’s aviation technology…
As part of our series delving into the megatrends affecting aviation, we sat down with dozens of companies across the industry, from airline associations like IATA to small suppliers at the granular end of the supply chain, to understand the risks that our industry faces and the opportunities on offer…
Hydrogen power seems increasingly likely to be a key part of the puzzle to power the aircraft of the future, with the use of fuel cells looking to be a strong contender in the mix. To learn more, we sat down with Matthieu Pettes-Duler, deputy head of powertrain and flight…
With their light weight yet strong structural properties, aviation’s use of composite materials has expanded and accelerated over time. With a next generation of composites on the horizon, and new tools including AI-developed structures enabling biomimicry and other advances, we sat down with Edoardo Depase, head of marketing for aerospace…
