Jet zero: UK Government strategy for net zero aviation
NOTE that the entire policy is based on the idea that there is no need for the government to require or encourage any reduction in flying.
Our vision is for the aviation sector to reach net zero aviation, or jet zero, by 2050.
A consultation ran from 14 July to 8 September 2021
The consultation set out our proposed approach and principles to reach net zero aviation by 2050.
Our ambition is to:
- decarbonise aviation in a way that preserves the benefits of air travel
- maximise the opportunities that decarbonisation can bring
We are proposing a suite of policies to support industry to reduce and, where possible, eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from aviation. These policies span 5 different measures that aim to:
- improve the efficiency of our aviation system
- accelerate the development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuels
- support the development of zero emission flight
- ensure we use markets to drive down emissions in the most cost-effective way
- influence the behaviour of consumers
The consultation will inform the final jet zero strategy.
