🚨 PROJECTED AIR TRAVEL BOOM CLASHES WITH CLIMATE GOALS

Well, this could get interesting…global air travel could more than double by 2050, driving fuel demand up 59% from 2019. 

Despite promises of net-zero emissions, airlines rely on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which is scarce and 5x pricier than regular jet fuel.

Brussels-based Transport and Environment called on the EU to limit airport growth and tax airlines, saying the industry's growth derails climate efforts.

With Airbus and Boeing projecting more planes, emissions will keep soaring, even with more efficient jets and limited SAF use.
