An updated net zero carbon road map reflecting advances in sustainable aviation technology made in the UK is being detailed by the Sustainable Aviation coalition.<\/p>\n

The group is calling on the sector and government to work together to \u201crevolutionise\u201d aviation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It warned that the UK\u2019s position is at risk without targeted government support.<\/p>\n

Sustainable Aviation said: \u201cDelivering accelerated progress towards a UK-wide net zero CO2 emission future requires aligning all of government on a strategic plan, to ensure sufficient low carbon electrical and hydrogen generation is in place, to meet the increased energy demands with UK aviation receiving its fair share alongside other industries.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The revised road map highlights the \u201cvital role\u201d and potential for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and zero carbon emission technologies such as hydrogen-powered aircraft and carbon removal technologies, together with advances in modernising airspace to help UK aviation reach net zero by 2050.<\/p>\n

The road map \u201cmodels the reality that the increased cost of decarbonising aviation will inevitably reduce passenger demand. The demand reduction due to the costs of decarbonisation represents around 14 % of the industry\u2019s reduction in CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, this modelling also shows that, even with slightly higher costs, people still want to fly, with overall growth in passenger numbers of almost 250 million by 2050.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being introduced at the Sustainable Skies World Summit at Farnborough today (Monday), it updates previous plans published in 2020 and 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Urgently introducing a price support mechanism for SAF is essential for unlocking investment and ramping up UK\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>production, the coalition urged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis will ensure UK supply of SAF is available to help meet the UK demand created by the government\u2019s 10% SAF mandate by 2030,\u201d the group said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe funding a UK price stability mechanism for SAF could be achieved through the recycling of revenue gained from the end of free aviation carbon allowances in the UK ETS [emissions trading scheme] from 2025 or 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis follows the \u2018polluter pays\u2019 principal of decarbonisation, means no taxpayer subsidy, and stops the economic benefits of SAF production from being captured by other countries with incentive schemes already in place.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coalition wants to see UK airspace modernisation completed by the end of the decade together with SAF production \u201cat scale\u201d via five production plants under construction by 2025.<\/p>\n

Sustainable Aviation chair Matt Gorman said: \u201cThis is the critical decade where aviation must prove it will decarbonise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur updated net zero carbon road map shows that we have a clear, credible path to take the carbon out of flying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThrough a combination of sustainable aviation fuel, more efficient aircraft and airspace, zero emission planes and carbon removals, we can protect the huge benefits of aviation for future generations without the carbon cost.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019ll do it faster, and create more jobs and investment in the UK, with the right policies, working in partnership with government.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe US and Europe are surging forwards in the race to create new industries in sustainable aviation fuels and technology. The UK has all the natural advantages to be able to join them \u2013 but we need to move quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Virgin Atlantic chief executive Shai Weiss added: \u201cThis road map highlights the critical role that sustainable aviation fuel will need to play in decarbonising UK aviation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs well as helping to meet our collective net zero 2050 goal, a UK SAF industry supports our energy security and creates economic growth through an innovative new green industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the right level of\u00a0government\u00a0<\/b>support and partnership across industry we can make this vision a reality, securing a more sustainable future for the UK\u2019s world leading aviation sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Airbus communications and corporate affairs executive vice president Julie Kitcher said: \u201cAlongside a focus on operational efficiencies and scaling up SAF solutions, our sector is making great strides towards developing the disruptive technologies necessary for a hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cInvestment in these strategic innovations is critical if we are to\u00a0continue our fast-paced research and development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEqually important is investment in the associated ecosystem, making sure aviation has access to the right energies, at the right price and at the right locations. Only if government\u00a0and industry work together will we succeed in revolutionising our sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Transport secretary Mark Harper said:\u202f\u00a0\u201cThis government is a determined partner to the aviation industry \u2013 helping accelerate new technology and fuels, modernise their operations, and work internationally to remove barriers to progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, we can set aviation up for success, continue harnessing its huge social and economic benefits, and ensure it remains a core part of the UK\u2019s sustainable economic future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
