N2 - The aviation industry has recently reaffirmed its commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Battery technology holds the potential to power regional aircraft while hydrogen has the potential to power up to narrow-body aircraft. Green SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) could potentially cater for all existing aircraft classes1. All three energy sources have associated net emission profiles, costs, and technological challenges. Although noteworthy progress is being made toward the net zero flight ambition, emissions targets will only be realised with the active commitment and support of airport operators. Existing airports are not designed for electrified or hydrogen aircraft operations and as such development and deployment of new infrastructure will be required.
