Boeing Publicly Launches "Cascade" to Support Aviation's Net Zero Goal - In support of commercial aviation's path toward net zero carbon emissions, Boeing released the Boeing Cascade Climate Impact Model for public use. Cascade, a data modeling tool that identifies the effects of a range of sustainability solutions to reduce aviation's carbon emissions, is accessible on Boeing's new Sustainable Aerospace Together hub, www.sustainabilitytogether.aero.” Source: Boeing A Realistic Path to Net-Zero Emissions for Commercial Aviation - There’s no single solution for decarbonizing commercial aviation by 2050. All technologies that can contribute to the net-zero goal face challenges. Policy commitments by the US government and the European Commission can help increase the availability of SAF—and regulators consider most SAF pathways as viable options—but this cannot close the gap completely. Source: Bain & Company A Look At IATA's Newly Released Roadmaps To Net Zero In Aviation - A roadmap for all stakeholders in aviation, the Net Zero by 2050 goal will require a collective approach to the challenge. Innovations and development of new generation aircraft, more efficient engines, and new flight systems are necessary steps to attain the net zero goal. Investments will need to continue to find the optimal fuel depending on the aircraft mission, and that source could come from 100% SAF, hydrogen, batteries, or a combination of sources.

Its breakthrough is in using an iron-based catalyst to do this in one step, replacing the pricier two-stage process that is usually needed to bring about the chemical reaction. Source: Yahoo Finance
