Aviation carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are one billion tonnes per year – similar to the total annual CO2 emissions from Germany or Canada. And aviation CO2 emissions are rising faster than other transport sectors.

Green hydrogen can be produced from renewable electrical power. Blue, low-carbon hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels with permanent storage of the CO2 emissions.

Sustainable aviation is in its infancy. The breadth of solutions is broad. The winning solutions may be known to us today or could yet emerge. However, the benefits of pursuing defossilisation in this sector will be felt in our lifetime and will leave a legacy that we can be proud of for generations to come.
