Shaping a Greener Sky: Sustainability & Climate Change in Aerospace
In today’s fast-paced world, the aerospace industry stands at a critical crossroads—advancing innovation while also responding to the urgent call for environmental responsibility. Sustainability & Climate Change in aerospace is no longer a distant concern; it’s a pressing challenge that demands action, innovation, and collaboration. At Sarathi, we believe that building a greener future starts with awareness and a collective commitment to cleaner skies.
Aerospace’s Carbon Footprint: The Bigger Picture
Commercial aviation contributes about 2-3% of global CO₂ emissions. While this number may seem modest, its environmental impact is disproportionately large due to high-altitude emissions and contrails. Addressing Sustainability & Climate Change in aerospace means looking beyond emissions and into the entire lifecycle of aircraft—from design and manufacturing to fuel and end-of-life recycling.
Technologies such as Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs), electric and hybrid propulsion, and lighter composite materials are paving the way for cleaner aviation. Innovations like Airbus’ hydrogen-powered concept aircraft and Boeing’s investment in SAFs show that the industry is actively embracing sustainability.
