SAF and new‑aircraft shortages threaten aviation’s net‑zero push; ICAO calls for cooperative sourcing

Shortages of fuel‑efficient new aircraft and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) are squeezing supply, lifting supplier margins and threatening aviation's net‑zero 2050 goal, IATA warned. ICAO urged cooperative global action—warning against treating developing states as feedstock suppliers—while IATA’s resolution is driving SAF investment and certification momentum.

IATA's Net Zero by 2050 judged 'beyond reach' — R&D and SAF efforts continue IATA's 2021 Net Zero by 2050 target is now judged beyond reach, Leeham News reports, as technological and feedstock constraints undercut the industry's decarbonisation trajectory. Airlines, OEMs and fuel producers continue R&D and sustainable aviation fuel deployment even as timelines and mandates are reassessed.

Climate Mythbusters: Testing common travel‑industry claims on aviation emissions This analysis tests widely repeated travel‑industry claims about aviation's climate impact, separating factual points from misleading assertions and quantifying the relative contribution of different emissions sources. It evaluates common statements to clarify which mitigation options are supported by evidence and which amount to oversimplification.

TotalEnergies CEO expects EU to drop SAF mandate TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne said the EU will likely abandon a mandate requiring sustainable aviation fuel blending in future policy, drawing a parallel with the bloc's recent move to drop its planned ban on new combustion‑engine cars from 2035. The remark signals a potential reversal in aviation decarbonisation policy.
