Super-warming methane gas is being tackled too slowly, UN says ahead of COP30

Although methane stays in the atmosphere for a shorter time than carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it is much more effective at trapping heat.

Digital Feature: The evolving role of SAF in aviation’s energy transition

Decarbonizing flight will not happen overnight, but the journey for innovative pathways to create sustainable jet fuel has already taken off. The aviation sector is responsible for about 2.5% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and in the U.S., approximately 98% of aviation-related emissions result from jet fuel combustion.
