During the Corporate Jet Investor event held in London during
February 2023, a number of sustainability goals were discussed in
the aviation industry.
One of the central themes was that of alternative fuels for
business jets. It is hoped that available alternatives might
provide a workable and environmentally friendly solution to
traditional, fossil-based, jet fuels.
SAF – Sustainable Aviation Fuel – what is it ?
The aviation industry has always been at the forefront of
development. It has seen considerable growth during the last few
years. This growth was particularly marked during COVID, when
travel had become impossible due to commercial lines being
grounded. Naturally, this raised concerns about the increased
carbon footprint of this high-powered industry. Every industry is
now talking of sustainability and lower carbon emissions, whether
it is road vehicles, yacht, ships or aircraft. Business aviation is
not immune to the global pressure being felt.
