I am asking about the need for sustainable aviation fuel policy. As it currently stands, bar a sail boat or a row boat, there is no carbon-free way of leaving the island, with aviation accounting for between 2.5% and 3.5% of global carbon emissions and emissions in the commercial maritime sector accounting for similar percentages. Taking as fact that we will have to have an aviation sector forever, how can we decarbonise and what policy should we have on sustainable aviation fuel?
