While international negotiations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions have been less than satisfactory, there is a presumption
that a significant level of multi-lateral commitment will be
realized at some point. International air and marine travel have
been left to one side in past talks because the pursuit of
agreement proceeds on the basis of commitment by sovereign nations
and the effects of these specific commercial activities are, by
their nature, difficult to corral and assign to specific national
jurisdictions. However, air travel is increasing and, unless
something is done, emissions from this segment of our world economy
will form a progressively larger percentage of the total,
especially as emissions fall in other activities. This book focuses
on fuel. The aim is to provide background in technical and policy
terms, from the broadest reliable sources of information available,
for the necessary discourse on society's reaction to the evolving
aviation emissions profile. It considers what policy has been, why
and how commercial air travel is committed to its current liquid
fuel, how that fuel can be made without using fossil-source
materials, and the barriers to change. It also advances some
elements of policy remedies that make sense in providing an
environmentally and economically sound way forward in a context
that comprehends a more complete vision of sustainability than
'renewable fuels' traditionally have. The goal of Will
Sustainability Fly? is to broaden and contextualize the knowledge
resource available to academics, policy makers, air industry
leaders and stakeholders, and interested members of the public.
