A Future Scenario for Annual Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Global Civil Aviation

Caption

The researchers estimate that the technologies they will develop in the Ultimate project will cut civil aviation CO2 by 18 percent per passenger kilometer as of 2050 when the new technologies are expected to be gradually introduced. In a future scenario calculated in the project, this corresponds to a total reduction of about 3 gigatons of CO2 in the subsequent 25 years (green area).
