Decarbonizing Aviation: A Whole Systems Approach
The need to decarbonize the aviation industry by weaning it off of fossil fuels presents an enormous challenge, but there is a plan of attack that holds great promise if executed properly, according to a lead scientist at Heriot-Watt University. This approach is called a "whole systems approach," and it is a holistic means of meeting the goals of decarbonizing the aviation industry.
At the core of the whole systems approach lies the idea of proactive, holistically-minded decision making. Whereas in the past the aviation industry may have taken a piecemeal approach to reducing emissions, the new whole systems approach seeks to create systemic, proactive steps to reduce emissions through multiple avenues. This might include instituting carbon offsets, investing in sustainable fuel sources, and utilizing technologies that are designed to reduce fuel consumption.
The whole systems approach to aviation is an ambitious program, but it has the potential to revolutionize the industry like nothing before it. If implemented correctly, it could result in drastic emissions reductions in the coming years, allowing the aviation industry to become a leader in the fight against climate change.
