Three sustainable fuels that could be the future of green aviation

A Greener Life

“The use of SAF is expected to contribute around 65% of the reduction in emissions needed by aviation to reach net-zero in 2050,” says Albert Tjoeng, head of corporate communications for the IATA, which defines a SAF as a non-fossil fuel that has the potential to generate lower carbon emissions than conventional kerosene in its life cycle.

Energy news as COP23 is taking place in Germany

Edouard Stenger

It crashed the 10 GW barrier in 2010. This is a game-changing move as peaker plants and even baseload ones will become more and more irrelevant, decreasing carbon emissions. The intense wildfires that have been seen in Southern Europe and the Western part of North America are emitting a lot of carbon dioxide.

Lo first became interested in this area while studying physics and astronomy at Durham University , UK, where her final-year project looked at how to calibrate telescopes to correct for atmospheric effects on the radiation they detect. To pursue this further, Lo did a PhD in atmosphere, oceans and climate at the University of Reading , UK.
