AVIATION CLIMATE IMPACT

Robert Miller, Director of the Whittle Laboratory, highlights the need for disruptive technologies like cryogenic hydrogen fuel and hybrid electric flight to achieve net-zero aviation by 2050. He emphasizes four Sustainable Aviation Goals: mitigatin...

At COP29 in Baku, wealthy nations are exploring financial mechanisms to assist developing countries in addressing climate change. While these nations seek substantial funding, concerns linger over potential debt burdens associated with loans, prompt...

Recent reports have revealed that the campaign of Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris had eventually spent a huge amount of money on private jets while the intense campaign efforts were going on for the US Presidential Elections. Followi...

A recent study reveals a concerning surge in carbon emissions from private jets, increasing by 46% between 2019 and 2023. Researchers discovered that frequent private jet users could be emitting 500 times more carbon dioxide annually compared to com...

India could produce 8-10 million tonnes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) by 2040, requiring $70-85 billion in investments, according to a Deloitte India report. SAF aims to propel aviation sector decarbonisation, with the potential to reduce carbo...

India's 'Mission Mausam' aims to enhance weather forecasting and management using advanced tools like AI, machine learning, and expanded observation networks. The mission will include cloud chambers, additional radars, satellites, and supercomputers...

A new analysis reveals that almost all of Australia's major airports, including Sydney and Brisbane, are highly vulnerable to climate change impacts such as storms, floods, heat waves, and high winds.

The award will showcase a startup whose impact can be judged both by the idea and the execution. The founders should have been students whose aim was to build a commercial enterprise.

Experts recommend 'affordable to abate' to emphasize that technologies are available for high-emission sectors like steel and cement.

Light industries, such as food and beverage manufacturing, contribute significantly to emissions and need new, effective solutions. Innovation in energy storage is also essential due to increased renewable energy usage.

IndiGo recently cancelled flights to and from Leh due to high temperatures affecting runway operations, highlighting the challenges of operating in extreme heat and high altitudes.

A 2021 report found that some private jets emit two tons of CO2 per hour — at least five times more pollution per passenger than commercial flights. That’s 50 times worse than trains.

A recent incident of air turbulence involving Singapore International Airlines has raised questions regarding the frequency and nature of winds that challenge the aircraft.

A Singapore Airlines flight faced severe turbulence, leading to one death and multiple injuries. Turbulence, unstable air moving unpredictably, includes dangerous clear-air turbulence near jet streams due to wind shear. Turbli tracks turbulent fligh...

A British man's death and numerous injuries on a Singapore Airlines flight due to severe turbulence highlight the dangers of unstable air. While turbulence-related fatalities are rare, injuries are more common, especially among flight attendants. Cl...

A breakthrough emerges as a rural Georgia plant readies to produce the world’s initial commercial supply of cleaner jet fuel, converting ethanol into jet engine-compatible fuel. LanzaJet Inc.'s $200 million facility marks a stride in tackling aviati...

Since its Corpus Christi facility came online in October, Sacramento, California-based Infinium has become one of the first e-fuel makers in the world to turn industrial-scale production from a concept into a reality.

The wood components are strong enough to hold up an office tower or apartment block, and building with them is thought to emit much less CO2 than using standard materials.

Aviation directly contributes 2% to 3% to total greenhouse gas emissions. But it also has non-CO2 effects — when a plane flies at a certain altitude, it sometimes leaves a persistent contrail, the cloudy line at its back. At times, this forms clouds...
