Powering aviation’s net-zero future with sustainable aviation fuel and efficient jet engine

In tandem to post-pandemic recovery, the aviation industry in India and around the world has again begun to expand at a rapid pace. For instance, airlines in India recently crossed 400,000 passengers a day, which is about 95.5% of pre-COVID daily domestic air passenger traffic. However, the pandemic years have also helped focus the world to take a more serious look at climate change. This has been a key motivation for the aviation industry to explore strategic avenues of technology-driven, sustainable, environment-friendly growth. Currently, the aviation industry is responsible for 2.4 per cent of global CO2 emissions. This figure is expected to rise further as other sectors of our economies reduce their footprint, and as the aviation industry grows. Therefore, securing a more sustainable future for the whole aerospace industry is today our most important priority.
