Climate researchers have been reporting temperature records for eleven months in a row and the first climate tipping points appear to have been reached. Aviation also plays a role in the inevitable reduction of CO2 emissions, as kerosene-fueled passenger aircraft produce significant CO2 emissions. But climate-friendly aviation is still a long way off, as a sobering report shows.
Even the goal of achieving climate-neutral aviation by 2050, which is not very ambitious compared to road traffic, can hardly be achieved with the individual technologies currently available, according to the gloomy assessment in the latest report on climate-neutral aviation from the Office for Technology Assessment at the German Bundestag (TAB). Even if all available high-quality technologies are used, climate-friendly air transport will still take decades to achieve due to the long development periods in aviation. Experts are therefore not only calling for new technologies, but also calling for their avoidance – for example by frequent flyers and private plane owners. Krone+ emphasizes the available technology and its limitations.
