Abstract
The aviation industry's quest for sustainability has intensified, with the urgent need to achieve net-zero emissions targets. This book chapter aims to critically examine the challenges and potential pathways associated with transitioning to clean fuel within the aviation sector. It will present the techno-economic considerations for clean fuel alternatives such as sustainable aviation fuels, liquid hydrogen, and battery electric systems in comparison to conventional fossil-derived aviation turbine fuel. The chapter concludes by proposing the socio-technical approach required for accelerating the transition towards a sustainable aviation ecosystem.
