Projected CO2 emissions from aviation worldwide

As a contributor to global climate change, the aviation industry is also subject to emission level abatement regulations and plans. According to a forecast, it is estimated that the total emissions from the aviation industry will decline down to 400 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) by 2050 if sustainable aviation fuels are deployed.

Projected CO₂ emissions from the aviation industry between 2022 and 2050, by scenario (in billion metric tons)*
