Vision 2050: Aligning aviation with the Paris Agreement
Analyzes scenarios under which the aviation sector could achieve emissions reductions in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Leveraging EU policies and climate ambition to close the cost gap between conventional and sustainable aviation fuels
Argues that the EU’s new “Fit for 55” proposals could be leveraged to steer more revenue toward development of sustainable aviation fuels, and to discourage use of fossil jet fuel.
Current and future cost of e-kerosene in the United States and Europe
Analyzes the potential of e-kerosene for decarbonizing the aviation sector, and finds that while expensive, the cost of e-kerosene will decline over time, and if subsidized, could become a viable sustainable aviation fuel.
Environmental limits on supersonic aircraft in 2035
Examines the noise and climate impacts of re-introducing supersonic aircraft aviation and finds them to be nearly prohibitive obstacles
Performance analysis of evolutionary hydrogen-powered aircraft
Examines the performance and CO2 mitigation potential of evolutionarily designed liquid hydrogen-combustion aircraft from 2035 to 2050.
Variation in aviation emissions by itinerary: The case for emissions disclosure
Analyzes varying levels of carbon emitted on alternative itineraries serving the same two cities and calls for emissions disclosure by airlines.
Potential tankering under an EU sustainable aviation fuels mandate
Investigates the potential for tankering to undermine the environmental objectives of a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate in the European Union.
An assessment of the policy options for driving sustainable aviation fuels in the European Union
Assesses the potential impact of different policy options for supporting the commercialization of advanced sustainable aviation fuels produced using novel or emerging conversion technologies.
Low-cost carriers and U.S. aviation emissions growth, 2005 to 2019
Provides a detailed fuel consumption inventory for all commercial flights to, from, and between U.S. airports.
Estimating sustainable aviation fuel feedstock availability to meet growing European Union demand
Estimates the quantity of advanced sustainable aviation fuels that could be supplied in the European Union.
