Call for Papers: Navigating towards 2050: The net-zero future of aviation

Introduction

The aviation sector plays a critical role in global connectivity by enabling international trade and tourism and driving economic development. The industry currently accounts for about 3% of global carbon emissions, but this share will rise as other industries decarbonise more quickly. The achievement of Net Zero Aviation 2050 functions as an urgent requirement for policymakers, researchers and industry stakeholders.

Aviation research requires integrated approaches that combine technological innovation with sustainable fuels and operational efficiency improvements, and policy development. Air travel demand reduction has been proposed as a potential solution, yet the increasing worldwide dependence on aviation makes this solution difficult to execute.

The Special Issue of this journal requests research studies that demonstrate effective methods for reaching net-zero emissions in aviation without losing the economic and social advantages of air travel. Researchers from different fields should work together to study sustainable aviation solutions, which include new technological developments, policy frameworks and organisational management approaches.

Scope

The Special Issue accepts empirical research studies, conceptual research papers, and review papers that investigate diverse aspects of aviation sustainability and decarbonization. Researchers from transport economics, environmental policy, aviation management, engineering and sustainability studies are invited to submit their work.

  • The research about sustainable aviation fuel needs economic and policy analysis.
  • Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) requires researchers to develop feedstock and production pathways and supply infrastructure.
  • Designers create aircraft and engine systems that achieve lower carbon emissions through their design work.
  • The aviation industry improves its operational efficiency through fleet upgrades and system efficiency enhancements.
  • Air traffic management and airport operations require optimisation to achieve better energy efficiency.
  • The aviation industry develops new technologies such as hydrogen-powered aircraft and electric aviation systems.
  • Organisations need to establish carbon offset programs that can measure their results and provide clear information.
  • The aviation industry shows progress through its development of technologies that capture carbon and use it or store it.
  • Aviation net zero emissions policies use policy instruments that include taxes and mandates, and R&D incentives.
  • Green finance mechanisms support sustainable aviation investment through their funding.

    • Know More About This Issue

    The transition to low-carbon aviation requires multiple sectors to work together on technology development, regulatory policy, infrastructure planning and financial investment. The recent progress in sustainable aviation fuel research, together with advancements in aircraft engineering and operational optimization provide effective solutions to decrease aviation emissions.

    The environmental effects of aviation require research that studies three main areas which include economic incentives and regulatory frameworks and consumer behaviour. Research on aviation decarbonization requires scientists to combine their technological innovations with their management expertise.

    The Special Issue intends to enhance academic and policy discussions about sustainable aviation by inviting research that assesses real-world methods for reaching net-zero emissions in aviation by the year 2050.
