The innovators pushing the envelope for more sustainable aviation.

In 2028, aviation icon and sustainability leader Bertrand Piccard will make a ‘round-the-world, zero-emissions flight to demonstrate the viability of carbon-free aviation. Learn more about his plans.

European fuel producer Total Energies driving future of sustainable aviation fuel

The company is ramping up production of SAF to more than half a million tonnes annually, as Europe heads toward a 6% SAF blend mandate in 2030. The game-changing fuel can reduce aviation carbon emissions by up to 80% over legacy fuels.

EU investment aims to boost sustainable aviation fuel use.

The policy is intended to encourage aviation stakeholders to switch from traditional kerosene to more sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), which can cut emissions by 80% as compared to emissions from traditional fuels.

Brazil makes major investment in eco-friendly flight.

Leaders have invested $15.8 million for Eve Air Mobility to conduct testing on hybrid-electric and hydrogen propulsion, as well as sustainable aviation fuel.

Emissions-free flight moves ahead in Europe

New partnership will bring electric-aviation infrastructure to the region.

Facts

Thanks to innovations in airframe design, engine performance, and avionics, business aviation is significantly reducing fuel burn per trip compared to previous generation aircraft.

This commitment, launched through the Business Aviation Commitment on Climate Change (BACCC), has guided industry efforts for over a decade.

Business aviation is championing SAF’s adoption, including through initiatives like the Business Aviation Coalition for Sustainable Aviation Fuel.

In much the same way that winglets were first introduced by business aviation, we continue to be an innovation incubator and lead proving ground for technologies that can eventually scale across all of aviation.
