Transforming Aviation

Transformation of the aviation industry | critical factors

Fuel efficiency gains
Global scaling of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
Innovation in other clean propulsion technologies such as hydrogen and battery-electric

Global burden of non-SAF production

Industry-endorsed strategy

In 2022 we developed an Aviation Sector Transition Strategy in collaboration with a diverse set of industry leaders. This provides a shared vision for a clean aviation future, modelling of pathways, real economy milestones and the industry, policy and finance actions required to get there. Assumptions have not been updated since publication, but the STS still represents a quantitative reference point.
