Members from the 100% #SAF, #NetZero Transatlantic Flight collaboration, led by @VirginAtlantic, discussing their approach to their historic journey towards the first SAF-fuelled transatlantic flight & providing insights into each party's contribution towards the project
Dr Marc Stettler provides his insight into the non-CO2 effects and how we can predict contrails

2. We believe a variety of scenarios are missing:
- limits on air traffic growth, particularly of long-haul aviation as recommended by the IEA.
- carbon prices becoming far higher, far earlier.
- total climate impact modelled, including non-CO2 emissions.

3. The updated Jet Zero consultation models 4 scenarios, all of which project a large growth in UK aviation over the next three decades to 2050. This growth is even greater in the updated 2022 scenarios than in the scenarios originally modelled in the initial 2021 consultation.
It's #COP26 and the #aviation industry has no plan - and no intention - to to do its fair share to stay below #1point5.
Instead, it's stepping up its #greenwashing.

#1 Efficiency. The #aviation industry tells us that it emits less and less CO2 per kilometre. What it doesn't tell us is that air traffic is growing much faster than efficiency is improving - resulting in higher climate pollution. #ReboundEffect
#2 Electric Flight. The aviation industry tells us the contribution of electric aircraft to reduce emissions will be significant. That's not true: the only aircraft likely to be certified this decade will be very small, we wonβt see larger ones before 2050. Too late for #1point5.
