Aviation accounts for 2-3% of all global CO2 emissions. If we consider the non-CO2 effects, the sector accounts for 3.5% of global warming, with the largest contributor being contrails. It is also the fastest-growing emitter in the transport sector. By 2025, demand is expected to hit 2019 levels again and to continue rising.
As part of our COP28 UAE endeavors, Future Cleantech Architects produced a short film anchored by our CEO Peter Schniering, featuring Clara Pfeffer (RTL Deutschland), Eleanor Webster (Mission Innovation), Ingrid El Helou (FCA), and Marlène Siméon (FCA). They discuss the challenges of bringing aviation on to a more sustainable path and the elements needed for a holistic transformation of the sector.
