Aviation accounts for 3% of the world’s CO\u2082 emissions into the atmosphere. In other words, airplanes are direct contributors to climate change<\/a>. That’s why almost the entire sector is making efforts to innovate and research sustainable fuels. Today, we have some good news on that front<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Gulfstream Aerospace has made history by completing the world’s first transatlantic flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel<\/strong> (SAF) with one of its G600 aircraft, flying from Savannah (Georgia) to Farnborough (England) in six hours and 56 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so much attention from the aerospace sector focused on ways to achieve net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050<\/strong>, it was inevitable that a sort of race would occur to accomplish the first transatlantic flight using 100% SAF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-renewable fossil fuels, but no electric aircraft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Companies like Virgin Atlantic and Rolls-Royce have entered the fray, but the prize was claimed by a Gulfstream business jet powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW815GA engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of SAF is to reduce aviation carbon emissions by relying much less on fossil fuels.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These sources include<\/strong>: corn; seed oils; algae; animal fats; agricultural residues; forestry residues; wood residues; liquid and solid municipal waste; and energy crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
