Two scenarios, one goal: climate-compatible flying

Two scenarios, one goal: climate-compatible flying
The study presents two potential pathways into the future – one conservative scenario and one progressive. Both make clear that, in the long term, aviation can only become climate-compatible through new propulsion systems and energy carriers. The conservative scenario focuses primarily on more efficient aircraft and increased use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). The progressive scenario takes a more ambitious approach, factoring in the early adoption of hydrogen-based and battery-electric propulsion systems.
