GLOBAL warming regulations threaten to curtail the growth of aviation and the industry hopes technology will spare them the huge costs of regulatory compliance, reports the Seattle Times.
The airline industry recently committed to targeting net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Various governments and industries will have to invest billions in infrastructure in the coming decade, with Boeing and Airbus having to develop new airplane designs.
As for the flying public, all outcomes point to an increase in the cost of flying.
Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury recently warned that if the industry's new push for climate sustainability fails, governments could force a reduction in air travel by banning flying that is routine.
'Aviation has a very important role on the planet to connect people and to contribute to prosperity,' said Mr Faury.
'We are at a point where this is in danger if we don't manage to transition and succeed in the decarbonisation of the sector.' said Mr Faury.
Mr Faury declared that it is the number one matter of discussion in the industry, even more than the Covid crisis.
The world's major airlines have committed to one key technology that will dominate aviation's environmental push in the coming decade: Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
As for the plane manufacturers, the major costs and big risks will come later.
Airbus and Boeing will make money from the airlines' push for sustainability by promoting the sale of new, more efficient jets to replace older planes that burn more gas and produce more carbon emissions.
Whereas further in the future, plane builders will need to develop dramatically new technologies.
