Welcome to our newsletter. This week we've released a series of lessons (reading text, reading to writing summary, listening test and seminar speaking) on the topic of aviation decarbonisation.
|
|
What is aviation decarbonisation?
|
This is the airline industry's commitment to become carbon neutral by 2050. The main strategy for decarbonising the aviation sector is to replace fossil fuels (kerosene) with sustainable aviation fuels (SAF): biofuels, synthetic fuels and hydrogen.
|
|
Our reading text focuses on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and the listening text focuses on hydrogen planes.
