Aviation’s transformation to a “net-zero emissions” system will require an exceptional research effort. Europe’s Clean Aviation programme will demonstrate aircraft technology that will enable net CO2 reductions of up to 90% when combined with the effect of SAF, or zero CO2 airborne emissions when using hydrogen as fuel state-of-the-art aircraft. It will target an entry into service before 2035, enabling 75% of the world’s fleet to be replaced by 2050.
