- Increasing CO2 emissions from international aviation.
- Need for investment in biorefineries for sustainable alternative fuels.
- Price gap between conventional and alternative jet fuel.
- Uncertainty in predicting the availability of sustainable alternative fuels in the long term.
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2016 reporting, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 448 million metric tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2010 (projected to increase). Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.
