Sustainable Alternative Fuels for Aviation A Key Component of Future Air Transport Success Continues on its Path to Commercial Viability

摘要

Sustainable drop-in alternative fuels will be an essential component of the future aircraft fuel supply, as they have been proven to offer a technically sound solution that will not require changes to the aircraft or fuel delivery infrastructure. Although they offer the potential to reduce aviation environmental impacts, alternative jet fuels are not yet available in sufficient quantities to meet the overall demand of commercial aviation. New regulatory and financial frameworks will be needed before this will be the case. As Jane Hupe, ICAO's Environment Chief, reports, the Organization has been facilitating, on a global basis, the promotion and harmonization of initiatives that encourage and support the development of sustainable alternative fuels for international aviation.
