Aviation has long been one of the most stubborn sectors when it comes to climate change.
Despite its relatively small share of global CO₂ emissions—about 2.5%—its overall climate impact is far greater due to non-CO₂ effects like contrails and nitrogen oxides. And yet, unlike road transport or electricity, sustainable alternatives for jet fuel remain rare, expensive, and difficult to…
