International aviation produced an estimated 490.4 million tonnes (Mt) of carbon dioxide emissions in 2013, about 1.5% of global CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion that year, and as the role of aviation in the global economy expands, those emissions are expected to rise, to 682–755 Mt by 2020 and 1223–1376 Mt by 2035. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has set a global aspirational goal that the industry’s growth from 2020 onward be “carbon neutral” in terms of net CO2…

This paper discusses the global efforts to develop mechanisms for the industry to meet its ambitious goals for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. It presents scenarios related to a steady…
Robust eligibility criteria essential for new global scheme to offset aviation emissions
Aviation may have contributed as much as 4.9% to global radiative forcing in 2005 and its carbon dioxide emissions could grow by up to 360% between 2000 and 20501. In 2016, the International Civil…

Life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of sugar cane renewable jet fuel.
TLDR
The sensitivity analysis showed that the cropland-pasture yield elasticity and the choice of the land use factor employed to sugar cane are relevant parameters for the biofuel life cycle performance.

Biofuels, biodiversity, and people: Understanding the conflicts and finding opportunities
Greenhouse gas emissions from biofuels' indirect land use change are uncertain but may be much greater than previously estimated.
TLDR
Fuel policies that require narrow bounds around point estimates of life cycle GHG emissions are incompatible with current and anticipated modeling capabilities and alternative policies that address the risks associated with uncertainty are more likely to achieve GHG reductions.
