Sustainability in the Air: Innovators Transforming Aviation for a Greener Future
In the face of growing concerns about climate change, aviation faces an existential crisis.
The industry contributes three percent to global carbon emissions, and without significant changes, that figure could increase drastically as air traffic continues to grow. As world governments continue to roll out new environmental regulations, public opinion is up in the air about what role aviation should play in our society.
To face these challenges, airlines are switching from fossil-fuel based kerosene to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in a push to lower emissions to net-zero, while electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft could make true zero aviation a reality in the coming decades. Even so, scaling these new technologies is extraordinarily complex, requiring major innovation in the air and on the ground. Fortunately, there are entrepreneurs, executives and investors facing these challenges head-on, charting a path for others to follow.
Sustainability in the Air shares the journeys of these bold innovators to lay bare the innovations, insights and best practices of the next era of aviation. Complete with case studies and interviews with these changemakers, Sustainability in the Air teaches readers -Air Company made vodka from thin air to test technology for sustainable jet fuel -Archer Aviation plans to bring a futurist vision of urban air mobility to life with short-range electric aircraft (eVTOLs) -Heart Aerospace's innovative R&D helped them design a new electric aircraft from scratch on a budget -ZeroAvia plans to enable hydrogen-powered flight for a true-zero future of aviation -Embraer will make regional flights sustainable with a new family of aircraft
Plus, lessons from airline leaders at KLM, Etihad Airways, JetBlue, SkyTeam and more.
The stories in Sustainability in the Air make it to become truly sustainable, aviation must address investment, R&D, logistics, regulation and culture problems-often all at once. While this transformation won't happen without a little turbulence, the industry has dozens of innovators who are working full throttle for a sustainable future.

A must read for greener future!
In these times of globalisation, aviation is an integral part of our lives as it provides employment opportunities, shorter travel time, convenience, etc. It has become a huge industry contributing to growth of tourism and hence facilitating GDP of many countries. As much as it has become an indispensable part of our lives, it’s shouldn’t come at the cost of our home planet.
As the future of the aviation industry seems ever growing, we shouldn’t ignore the fact that we need to keep a check on its carbon footprint. In this book, the authors shows us a path on how to do so over the next decades. The aviation industry needs to be adopting and adapting newer technologies working towards being more eco friendly. It’s interesting to know the insights into aviation industry by two industry insiders like Shashank Nigam and Dirk Singer.

Sustainability in the air is an absolutely engaging book where authors tried to explain about the climate changes due to global warming and emission of gases. He also explained how aviation is largely responsible for most of the emission causing pollution which ultimately became trouble for the flights . The author has penned research data after conducting 300hrs of interviews with aviation expertise and scientists which led to the conclusion of the potential hazard of the aviation emission. The author also explained about the new revolution that is coming in 2050 which will be free from fossil fuels and hydrogen based engines will be used . I highly recommend this book for those innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers and those who want to get the benefit from the new revolution occurring in the aviation industry. Happy reading 😊💯

Wow mind-blowing book. The air these days is not how it used to be and I really wanted to know the other reasons for climate change I came across this book one day and decided to read as an engineer I knew few root causes of pollution but after reading this book, I came to know how one flight causes so much carbon emission and how researchers are trying to find eco-friendly solution to stop it SAF which reduces carbon emission as less as it can but there are also so many options to reduce it.
This book made me realise how much big of problem it is and how it can be resolved by finding alternatives. I'd highly recommend this book for those who are interested in learning about sustainability.

I indulge myself in reading books that shows impact on our lives and this is one such book that everyone should read as the impact it has is immense. It talks about how aviation is responsible for much of the air pollution and that is necessary to work on it as with air pollution it is causes global warming and that leads climate change.
In this book the authors talk about how to improve the aviation industry in such way so that they can lessen the air pollution and the authors did a lot of research and interviews along with case studies. It also talks about the innovations that are being built by innovators of the industry. It is a very interesting read.

If you care about aviation or sustainability, read it! This book is the most holistic material I have seen to date covering trends in aviation decarbonization.
Beyond the highly publicized eVTOL industry, Shashank examines technologies like Hydrogen, alternative fuels like the SAF pathways, and activities by airlines such as a Etihad. The narrative on such a complex topic with many stakeholders is also compelling. It provides an incredible launching off point for entire careers, including AA + Google AI research around how to mitigate nvPM emissions from aircraft contrails!

This book speaks about the aviation industry .how the flights usage has been increased in years . The e fuel usage can reduce the air pollution and the radiation reducement can help the bird population. the technology that is used in the aviation industry and the difficulties faced by the people working and the agencies like NASA how they r helping to reduce the cost of fuel of flights by introducing E-fuel and the reducing the weight of the fuel soo that reduces the weight and accomodates more fuel.

This is a book that caters to a large number of audience as it talks about an issue that shows it effect on the planet as a whole and it talks about global warming and it's adverse affects on the nature and people.
In this book we will know about how the airlines is known as being the most global warming producer because of fuels they use and what can be replaced. This book is an attempt to let people know the reality of the planet and make it sustainable. I am glad that books like this are being written.
