ICAO Conference delivers key outcomes to advance decarbonisaiton of international aviation
During the third ICAO Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels (CAAF/3), held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from 20 to 24 November 2023, the international aviation sector has taken a giant leap to accelerate its decarbonisation.
By the adoption of a new ICAO Global Framework for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), Lower Carbon Aviation Fuels (LCAF) and other Aviation Cleaner Energies, ICAO and its Member States have agreed to strive to achieve a collective goal to reduce CO2 emissions from international aviation by 5% by 2030, compared to business as usual scenario. This will be achieved through a transition to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and, as an interim tool, the use of lower carbon aviation fuels (LCAF).
The accomplishment of this goal will be crucial to enable the air transport sector to deliver on the Long-Term Aspirational Goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
