Carbon neutral growth of the aviation industry

The aviation industry dealing with the flights and tours of family, friends and even the business trips is high on.

Apart from the stunning views that one gets through the portals of aviation, there are other fields which have the prints embarked on them and by them as well.

As a matter of fact, the aviation industry consumes 10% of total energy needs of transportation industry.

Increasing usage of hydrocarbon fuels in aviation, leads to increase in carbon emission and ultimately adds up to the results in global warming.

Although alternative fuel options which have low carbon content are being considered to decrease the green-house effect.

Despite the efforts provided, the challenges in finding alternative fuels are mainly adherence to high standards of aviation fuel and sustainability of fuel source.

CORSIA-Carbon Offset and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation is an emission mitigation approach for the global aviation industry formulated by ICAO -International Civil Aviation Organization.

In line with this approach, ICAO has been exploring the feasibility of bio fuels as an alternative for aviation fuel.

European Union has also similar plans with the motive to make its aviation zone capable of running on 40% of sustainable low carbon fuels by the year 2050.

Bio-fuels are generally seen as novel alternative to fossil fuels. Another added advantage is that they can also be easily made from natural products and organic wastes.

However, the demands of the aviation industry and the fuel cannot be supported by such ordinary bio substitutes.

The only possible alternative fuel for aviation industry found so far, have been made from HEFA -Hydrogenated Esters and Fatty Acids.

Additionally, higher fuel standards of the aviation, can only be met by chopping certain trees in forests. And no doubt the Environmentalists oppose such ideas and their practices as well.

The main reasons of opposition from them are:

1)Deforestation-as large number of trees will be cut to meet fuel demands.

2)Rise in Monoculture-to meet specific requirements of aviation fuel standards.

3)Biodiversity destruction

4) They also argue that such offset plans made in haste instead of reducing carbon emissions end up increasing it.

ICAO's search for low carbon fuels is surely a welcome step. However, these steps should be taken to ensure that alternative fuels are both suitable and sustainable in nature.

Until we find such an alternative we may well stick with current fuel model, with enhanced focus on efficient fuel usage.

The best of these standards are met by most of the sirliair associated with FareHawker and we also offer the standard prices for flight travel as well.
