Decarbonising long-haul flights by 2050
Long-haul flights, accounting for fewer than 10% of all departures, are responsible for over 50% of aviation's carbon emissions. While electric and hydrogen aircraft are progressing as solutions for short-haul travel, they remain unviable for long-haul operations. Utilising our new FlyingGreen platform’s FuellingDecarb module, we estimate the feasibility of producing sufficient sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) to meet ReFuelEU’s blending mandate for long-haul flights, as well as the volume of electricity necessary to generate the required SAF.
