The future of aviation needs to be fossil-free, and the roadmap shows both a possible path forward and that the aviation industry is united in its ambition to reduce aviation's climate impact.

The Swedish aviation industry today submitted its roadmap for fossil-free aviation to Minister of Enterprise and Innovation Mikael Damberg and Isabella Lövin, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Climate.

Within the framework of the government initiative Fossil-Free Sweden, the Swedish aviation industry, together with fuel producers and representatives from the research sector, has developed a roadmap for how aviation can contribute to the government's goal of fossil-free Sweden by 2045.

The plan outlines how domestic aviation can first become fossil-free by 2030 and then international aviation – and thus all Swedish aviation – by 2045. Much remains to be done, but the roadmap shows both a possible path forward and that the aviation industry is united in the ambition to make aviation fossil-free.

The aviation industry of the future – both flights and airports – needs to become fossil-free, and the roadmap shows a possible path forward and that the aviation industry is united in its ambition to reduce aviation's climate impact.

The itinerary is available for download on Svenskt Flyg's website, here.

The aviation industry and Fossil-Free Sweden identify a large-scale transition to biofuel as one of the most important solutions for reducing aviation's climate impact, along with efficiency improvements and the development of new technology, such as hybrid aircraft.
