Powering aircraft with 100 % sustainable aviation fuel reduces ice crystals in contrails |
Powering aircraft by sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) is a pathway to reduce the climate impact of aviation by lowering aviation lifecycle CO₂ emissions and by reducing ice crystal numbers and radiative forcing from contrails. While the effect of SAF blends on contrails has been measured previously, this paper presents novel measurements on particle emission and contrails from 100 % SAF combustion. |
