ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organisation, has a target to cut carbon emissions in half by 2050. While efficiency improvements like more fuel-efficient aircraft and better air traffic logistics can bring about half of the emissions reductions required, the other half will have to come through renewable jet fuel. So if we hope to decarbonise the transport sector, we will need to have large amounts of biojet.
