Environmental Challenges

  • Meeting industry goals of carbon neutrality requires drastic and near-term improvements in carbon reduction and advancements in current technology or new technologies to meet 2050 goals.
  • CO2 and non-CO2 aircraft emissions exacerbate climate change.
  • Airports and ground operations contribute approximately 10% of total aviation greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Challenges in SAF production, decarbonization, and deployment.
  • Challenges in hydrogen production, distribution, and storage.
  • Challenges in electric flight technology, including range and infrastructure.
  • Economic, technical, commercialization, and distribution challenges for e-fuels.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Advancements in SAF production, decarbonization, and deployment.
  • Advancements in alternative energy carriers, propulsion systems, and infrastructure.
  • Development of e-fuels, hydrogen-based fuels, and electric flight technologies.
  • Optimizing existing infrastructure and facilities to support future loads.
  • Streamlined ASTM certification processes.
  • Multiagency U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)-led “SAF Grand Challenge”.
  • FAA’s Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions, and Noise (CLEEN) and ASCENT programs.
  • DOE’s “1-1-1” Hydrogen Shot target.
