Flying Together Towards Net-Zero Emissions
Today the aviation sector faces arguably its biggest challenge yet - how to fly sustainably and help the world on its journey to net-zero emissions. Shell Aviation is committed to collaborating with industry partners, in the same way it worked with aviation鈥檚 first pioneers, to meet this challenge and help enable a sustainable tomorrow.
Powering the world鈥檚 first scheduled flight with synthetic kerosene
Synthetic kerosene, produced by combining captured carbon with hydrogen made from water and renewable power, could have the potential to play a major role in decarbonising aviation. Shell helped bring this prospect closer in 2021 by partnering with KLM and the Dutch Government on the first flight to be powered by this exciting fuel of the future.
