Original consultation

Summary

Our vision for the aviation sector to reach net zero aviation, or Jet Zero, by 2050.

This consultation ran from
14 July 2021 to 11:45pm on 8 September 2021

Consultation description

Sets 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.
