Carbon Reduction in Aviation
The aviation industry has a significant impact on the environment, particularly with regards to carbon emissions. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted by aircraft, and it is estimated that aviation accounts for around 2% of global CO2 emissions. This figure is expected to rise as air travel becomes more popular and the global aviation industry continues to grow.
In addition to CO2, aircraft also emit other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). These pollutants can have significant environmental and health impacts, particularly in areas close to airports.
The impact of aviation on the environment can also be felt through noise pollution. Airports and aircraft generate high levels of noise, which can have negative impacts on the health and wellbeing of people living near airports.
Overall, the aviation industry has a significant impact on the environment, and reducing carbon emissions and other pollutants from aircraft is becoming increasingly important.
