“Horizon 2050” analyzes the aviation
technologies and policies needed to achieve net zero carbon
emissions by 2050
Today, the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and Accenture
released a comprehensive new report analyzing the state of
sustainable aviation technologies in the United States. The study
identifies the prioritization and investments necessary for the
aviation sector to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The report, Horizon 2050: A Flight Plan for the Future of
Sustainable Aviation, comes as the number of global air passengers
is expected to nearly double over the next 20 years, causing an
increase in fuel consumption and ultimately an increase in carbon
emissions.
“There’s no question that the aviation industry will rise to the
occasion, meet these challenges head on, and lead us to a more
sustainable future,” said Eric Fanning, President and CEO of AIA.
“Horizon 2050 provides a detailed look at the exciting new
technologies on the horizon and how government, stakeholders, and
industry can collaborate to turn these aspirations into
actions.”
“The aviation industry is moving towards a sustainability agenda
that goes well beyond reducing aircraft emissions and extends to
creating business value and sustainable impact across the
ecosystem,” said John Schmidt, global Aerospace and Defense
industry lead at Accenture. “By embedding sustainability into every
stage of the manufacturing and delivery of products and
services—from internal strategy and operations to ecosystem
partners—organizations will build more trusted, circular and net
zero value chains, while also driving social and economic
benefits.”
Horizon 2050 is a comprehensive guide to prioritizing
decarbonization solutions, based on technology-specific data and
analysis. The report is divided into three sections, including a
technology report, feasibility assessment, and an AIA policy
roadmap.
The report evaluates technology solutions based on
emission-reduction potential, maturity status, and applicability
within time horizons relevant to aircraft entry-into-service:
- Near-term and market-ready technologies (today-2030)
- Mid-term technologies, typically in planning stages
(2030-2040)
- Longer-term technologies, mostly in research and development
(possible market entry beyond 2040)
Additionally, Horizon 2050 outlines AIA’s policy roadmap that is
necessary for government to play a key role in advancing these
technologies. This includes creating a cohesive, multi-year
strategic plan tied to reliable funding that the industry can count
on, working with international organizations to shape industry
standards, and ensuring that new technologies can be incorporated
as quickly as possible while maintaining safety as the top
priority.
“There is no silver bullet when it comes to achieving the
industry’s goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050. We know that
this goal is going to require a whole host of solutions, both large
and small,” said David Silver, Vice President for Civil Aviation at
AIA and co-author of Horizon 2050. “Dramatic changes to airport
operations and infrastructure, offsets and sustainable aviation
fuels, and crucially, cutting-edge aerospace technologies all have
a role to play in making this goal a reality.”
