What can be done to increase production of sustainable aviation fuel? At the #BBGGreenFestival we’re hosting a conversation on decarbonization in the aviation industry brought to you by Alaska Airlines. https://bloom.bg/3znj5qm

Hydrogen is flammable and not safety approved helium is heavy and expensive and in short supply. So what are ops options moving forward?

As a student who is going to be at the forefront of the future of aviation, I have learned the importance of sustainable aviation due to environmental challenges it poses through carbon emissions. However, the industry is not ignoring these issues. As the aviation sector works towards decarbonization, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is going to be key to helping propel aviation towards net-zero emissions. SAF is a proven solution that could cut carbon emissions by up to 80%, compared to conventional fossil-based jet fuels. #SustainableAviation #EcoAero #Aviation4Future #AeroInnovation #FlyGreen

In November 2023, our #Trent1000 engine made history by powering the world's first 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) transatlantic flight by a commercial airline. The flight represented a major milestone for the entire aviation industry in its journey towards net zero carbon emissions and demonstrated the capability of SAF as a safe drop-in replacement for jet fuel. This week Virgin Atlantic headline report set out key findings, including how the use of 100% SAF saved the lifecycle equivalent of 95 tonnes of CO2, or 64% of the emissions of a standard London Heathrow to New York JFK flight. Further benefits include a 40% reduction in particulates, which could contribute to a significant reduction in contrail production. Read more: https://ow.ly/NiJc50RAGRe #PowerofTrent #Flight100

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We are further along the journey to #netzero than just a single step but the footprints we make on the way solidify our commitment to a sustainable future.

Interesting read about an incredible achievement in the Aviation Sector.

Did you know that most airplanes have a 30-year lifespan? That means any changes to air travel meant to reduce carbon must be done within the existing infrastructure of a plane. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (#SAF) is a significant solution for decarbonizing aviation. Due to its compatibility with current aircraft and infrastructure, airlines can seamlessly incorporate SAF into their operations without requiring expensive modifications or overhauls. With planes remaining in service for decades, adopting SAF ensures a long-term impact on reducing aviation emissions. Three cheers for SAF! Learn more about it: https://lnkd.in/gppwET4T.

Airships are low carbon, low emission flying machines. Alaska Airlines powers JetZero’s vision for next-gen aircraft technology Alaska Airlines has announced a strategic investment in JetZero, a groundbreaking company developing a blended-wing body (BWB) aircraft designed to reduce fuel consumption by up to 50% and lower emissions. This investment underscores Alaska’s dedication to advancing innovative technologies that will shape the future of aviation, supporting the airline’s journey toward achieving net zero carbon emissions. Travel and Tour World #aviation
