Opinion
Rutherford: Boeing passes the buck on aircraft decarbonization compared to Airbus
“There are real merits to those fuels, but if you're a manufacturer to say, you know, we're going to build, we're going to continue to build our planes as they are today, and someone else is going to produce the fuel to make them zero carbon, it's a little bit …”

Rutherford: Crop-based aviation biofuels can emit more lifecycle CO2 than fossil fuel
“You can actually produce sustainable aviation fuels that on a life cycle basis emit more carbon dioxide than the base jet fuel.”

Rutherford: Electric aviation is limited to flights of 300 kilometers or less
“But by our analysis, you know, it's really a market for commuter flights, and for flights of, you know, 300 kilometers or less for the foreseeable future, just because of the underlying mass penalties of the technology.”

Rutherford: SAFs will lead aviation decarbonization through 2040 before hydrogen potentially emerges
“You know, 2030, SAFs, definitely. 2040, I would also say SAFs. 20 50, it may shift to hydrogen.”

Rutherford: Total climate impact of flying is triple its CO2 alone
“So if you look at the total climate impact of flying, it's about Three times larger than carbon dioxide alone.”

AssertionSupported
Rutherford: Waste fats and oils can meet just 2% of fuel demand
“So we think overall maybe about two percent Of overall jet fuel use could be met by diverting these waste fogs from existing uses to aircraft.”
