Aviation Factsheets
Why does aviation need green hydrogen to decarbonise?
“Underpinning aviation’s decarbonisation trajectory is a huge demand for green hydrogen. For aviation to have access to the fuels it needs and at the pace needed, supply needs to start being scaled up now. Regulations will be key to sending the demand signal that producers need to start scaling supply.”
Green hydrogen and aviation factsheet
There are many options for reducing aviation emissions, including limited direct electrification and sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). But crucially, other than for direct electrification, all viable and truly sustainable paths to decarbonisation involve green hydrogen and derived fuels.
This factsheet provides all the background information you need to understand the options for decarbonising aviation, as well as what we policies we need to drive green hydrogen towards the sector.
