European aviation revises down hydrogen\u2019s role in net zero:<\/strong> Europe\u2019s aviation industry has lowered its expectations for hydrogen-powered planes in achieving net zero by 2050, warning that the cost of decarbonization has surged, the Financial Times<\/a> reported on Wednesday, citing a revised net zero roadmap (pdf)<\/a> by industry groups. The roadmap projects that hydrogen-powered aircraft will account for just 6% of emission reduction by 2050 \u2014 down from a 20% forecast in 2021 \u2014 due to a lower-than-expected market share. The report also estimates that European aviation will face more than EUR 1.3 tn in extra costs to reach net zero, EUR 480 bn higher than previous projections. <\/p>\n

A \u201creality check\u201d:<\/strong> Despite reaffirming their net zero commitment, trade bodies behind the report called it a \u201creality check\u201d for the European Commission, and urged immediate action to support decarbonization. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
