Paragraph: 76
Significant potential exists for increased operational efficiencies in UK aviation to reduce CO2.
Conclusion
There is evidently significant potential for increased efficiencies across all aviation’s operations which can lead to incremental reductions in CO2 emissions across the UK aviation sector. Efficiencies from fuel use in the current and emergent fleet of aircraft, better use of airspace and reductions in emissions from airport and aviation operations will all have a significant part to play in aviation’s contribution to reaching net zero.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government agrees with the potential for increased efficiencies and details its role in securing international agreements, including ICAO's target to reduce global aviation fuel emissions by 5% by 2030 and the adoption of the CORSIA sustainability framework for SAF.
