Event Abstract
In March 2023, the Royal Society launched its policy briefing document “Net Zero Aviation Fuels: resource requirements and environmental impacts”, which laid out the potential and requirements for aviation to change its fuel use in order to meet its future net zero climate impact commitments.
The report explores resource availability challenges, as well as likely costs, life-cycle impacts, infrastructure requirements and outstanding research questions across four fuel types, green hydrogen, biofuels (energy crops and waste), ammonia and synthetic fuels (efuels), and warns there is no single, clear, sustainable alternative to jet fuel able to support flying on a scale equivalent to present day use.
In this RAeS Heathrow Branch lecture, Dr Guy Gratton FRAeS, a pilot and aeronautical engineer, who was part of the leadership team for that report, will describe the report’s conclusions and implications for the aviation industry.
CPD | CPD certificates of attendance will be endorsed for CEng, IEng or EngTech registration.
