Experts says technology alone will not get close to solving aviation’s emissions problems
Boris Johnson’s “jet zero” goal of a commercial transatlantic flight producing no carbon emissions by 2025 is a “gimmick”, according to experts, who say technology alone cannot solve the impact of global aviation on the climate crisis.
Such a flight is not impossible, the experts said, but could only be a oneoff and would encourage the view that other measures such as taxing jet fuel and frequent fliers are not needed to tackle aviation’s carbon problem.
