We're making some progress when it comes to making aviation more sustainable, as discussed by Dan Rutherford, but more can be done in the near term.
Development of near-term solutions like Tamarack SMARTWING technology because it will take a combination of near term and long term developments to meet our overall, long-term objectives.
A case study conducted by Tamarack estimated that if the SMARTWING tech were to be fitted onto the commercial jet narrow-bodied fleet (Airbus A320 / Boeing 737 variants) alone, 1.6 billion tonnes of CO2 would be saved by 2040, reducing the emissions gap by approximately 20%.
This is a significant near-term solution!!
As we look to future things like electrification, SAF at scale, etc working in harmony the SMARTWING solution will still be in play - allowing lower energy consumption across the board!
Meanwhile, operators will benefit economically from lower fuel consumption, which is a winning proposition!

Now that we're almost two years out from the UN's 2022 international agreement, are airlines actually on a path to net-zero CO2 in 2050? And what additional measures will be needed to get them there? Check out the answer in my latest ICCT staff blog.
