How might the aviation industry's commitment to net-zero carbon emissions impact Boom Supersonic's long-term viability?

The project faces significant hurdles, requiring billions more in funding and a yet-to-be-developed engine. The industry's commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 poses a considerable challenge, though Boom plans to use sustainable aviation fuel. The collapse of competitor Aerion in 2021 highlights the financial risks involved.

What are the immediate and projected financial impacts of the UK's new Sustainable Aviation Fuel mandate on air travel costs for families?

The UK government's new Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate requires airlines to use at least 2% green fuel, increasing to 10% by 2040. This will likely increase airfare; government impact assessments predict a potential £302.40 increase for a family of four by 2040, with up to 80% of the levy passed onto consumers. Airlines such as British Airways have already warned of price hikes.

What role do buyers' alliances play in facilitating the transition to sustainable fuels, and what are the challenges in scaling this approach?

The shipping industry, responsible for over 80% of global trade and nearly 3% of greenhouse gas emissions, and aviation (2.5% of energy-related emissions), are falling short of net-zero targets by 2050. Buyers' alliances aggregate demand for sustainable fuels, creating a market for producers and driving emissions reduction.

How will the high cost of SAF impact airline profitability and air travel prices within the EU?

The EU's RefuelEU Aviation initiative, part of the Fit for 55 package, requires a gradual increase in SAF usage: 6% by 2030 (including 20% synthetic SAF), 20% by 2035, 42% by 2045, and 70% by 2050. The high cost of SAF, particularly synthetic SAF (€7,500/ton production cost), poses a significant challenge, prompting calls for production incentives.

What is the primary reason for the slow adoption of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) by the majority of airlines?

Only 10 of 77 airlines are making notable efforts to transition from fossil kerosene to sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), while 87% are failing to do so, according to a new Transport & Environment (T&E) ranking. The remaining 67 airlines are purchasing insufficient SAF, the wrong types, or not considering it in their decarbonization plans. This lack of progress significantly hinders the aviation industry's efforts to reduce its environmental impact.
