Green Aviation

January 2024 – Green Aviation, also called sustainable aviation, is the pursuit of decarbonizing the aviation industry making it more environmentally sustainable. It includes green technologies to improve aircraft fuel efficiency and engineering processes to lower carbon emissions and reach net zero worldwide. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a liquid fuel used in commercial aviation. SAF use reduces carbon emissions by 80% and can be produced from various sources such as waste oil, food waste, and farming crops. Green airport certification is a program for airports demonstrating environmental sustainability. It measures performance in energy efficiency, water consumption,  waste management, and air quality. The program was developed by the Airports Council International (ACI). In 2021, during the Conference of the Parties (COP26), the international aviation climate ambition coalition was launched to unite efforts in decarbonizing global aviation.
