Sector — 02

Green Aviation

Decarbonising one of the world's hardest-to-abate sectors through sustainable fuels, advanced propulsion, and smarter operations.

Overview

Taking aviation to net zero

Aviation is responsible for approximately 2.5% of global CO₂ emissions — and significantly more when non-CO₂ warming effects are included. Unlike many sectors, aviation cannot simply electrify its way to net zero. The path forward requires sustainable aviation fuels, hydrogen propulsion, and operational efficiency gains working in concert.

We work with airlines, fuel producers, airports, and regulators to navigate this complex transition — providing research, risk assessment, and strategic advisory that is grounded in the realities of commercial aviation.

Focus Areas

Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF)

Research into the production pathways, safety profiles, and supply chain requirements of SAF — including bio-based, synthetic, and hydrogen-derived fuels.

Hydrogen Propulsion

Analysis of liquid and gaseous hydrogen as aviation fuels — covering storage, handling, safety, and aircraft integration challenges.

Regulatory & Certification

Advisory support for navigating the evolving regulatory landscape around green aviation fuels and low-emission aircraft certification.

Operational Efficiency

Research into flight operations, route optimisation, and ground handling practices that reduce emissions in the near term.
