Hydrogen-Fueled Planes Could Meet One-Third of Air Travel Demands by 2050
As an Englishman living in the U.S., I was pleased to see Google Flights start to list relative emissions next to every single itinerary. After all, while there is much power in refusing to fly altogether, it’s not unreasonable to assume that many of us will continue to fly—and a shift to lower emissions routes could help heap pressure on airlines to finally start tackling their operational footprint. Research by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has found emissions can vary as much as 80% on different routes between the same two airports.
