In the foreseeable future, the use of biofuels will become more widespread and economically viable. However, its cost is unlikely to equate to the price of conventional fuel, which casts doubt on the possibility of implementing a strategy to reduce emissions in civil aviation. opens The words of David Calhoun, chairman of the American company Boeing, in the Financial Times newspaper.
According to him, currently kerosene fuel costs less than biofuel. In the future, this alignment will likely continue.
“The use of biofuels will become more common and cost-effective in the future. But I do not think that the price of it (kerosene fuel – socialbites.ca) will ever equal the cost of the Jet A-1, ”complained Calhoun.
In 2021, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) committed to achieving net zero emissions in aviation by 2050. However, the article concludes that the use of the first type is less profitable, given the current prices of bio and kerosene fuel.
November 11 Global Carbon Project (GCP) analysts sent According to the results of the study, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions due to fossil fuels will increase by 1% to 36.6 billion tons. Thus, this figure will be the highest in the history of observation.
