The Problem - Aviation's Hidden Climate Impact

CO₂ Emissions

  • Aviation accounts for approximately 5% of global CO₂ emissions
  • UK aviation sector alone consumes ~12 million tonnes of jet fuel annually
  • Standard fossil jet fuel contains ~20% aromatics that contribute to climate change

Persistent Contrails

  • White streaks behind aircraft trap heat and contribute to global warming
  • By some estimates, contrails cause more than half of aviation's total climate impact
  • Formed around soot particles from jet engine combustion

Aviation's dual climate challenge requires immediate solutions that address both CO₂ emissions and contrail formation
