Summary
Air travel connects people around the world, but it also has a big impact on our planet. Right now, the aviation industry is responsible for about 3% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions over a billion tons every year. As we work to combat climate change, finding cleaner alternatives to traditional jet fuel is crucial.
One promising solution is Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), produced from renewable resources or waste materials with low carbon emissions. SAF has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuels, making it a crucial component in the UK’s strategy to achieve net-zero aviation by 2050.
Dr Vinoth Ramalingam, a Chancellor’s Fellow and Sustainable Energy scientist at RGU’s School of Computing, Engineering and Technology is at the forefront of this innovative field.
