The head of Qantas says there is a path to zero carbon emissions by 2050 for the aviation industry, but does not see green hydrogen in the mix.<\/p>\n

Alan Joyce said the airline was also committed to reducing its emissions 25 percent by 2030 and had been investing in energy efficient aircraft, along with plans to develop a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for use by 2050.<\/p>\n

Joyce said SAF was a non-conventionally derived aviation fuel that could be made from sustainable biogenic sources, such as used cooking oils, council waste, plant oils, agricultural residues and non-biological sources, which was 80 percent more sustainable than existing fuel.<\/p>\n

He said it could be mixed with conventional fuel distribution sources to reduce emissions, though carbon offsets would still be required.<\/p>\n

However, the development of SAF would be expensive and would require support from the Australian government, and perhaps New Zealand’s industry.<\/p>\n

“We’ve asked in Australia for a mandate. So we don’t think we should be the only one just doing it. It’s a lot more expensive than jet kerosene, and it needs government help to make it cost effective and to get an industry started,” Joyce said.<\/p>\n

“We think it could create 20,000 jobs in Australia alone and could create a lot of jobs here in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

“And we think it could be phenomenal for fuel independence and we all know the implications when we’ve had things cut off.”<\/p>\n

He said the heavy weight of batteries to power electric planes meant they were currently only feasible for short distance routes.<\/p>\n

“And then hydrogen – you talk to Boeing and Airbus – a hydrogen aircraft – we won’t see that till 2050. Maybe later,” Joyce said.<\/p>\n

“And hydrogen has a huge amount of problems because you have to get the fuel to the aircraft, which means a new distribution system at airports and I can’t imagine how much Auckland Airport would charge us for doing that.”<\/p>\n
