B Read, Turning aviation green, Aerospace, August 2020, p 36

In the Singapore Air Show (previously reported), the effects of combustion pollutants at altitude were summarised as follows:
  • higher levels of stratosphere, NOx and halogens affect the ozone layer
  • troposphere, CO2, NOx, H2O and particulates affect climate change
  •  ground level, NOx, CO, particulates, and noise affect local air quality
In addition to redesigning an aircraft and its engines, there will be more need for biofuels and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) generally. The latter comprise drop-ins made from waste and biomatter, together with synthetic electro fuels (e-fuels, or PtL) created from atmospheric CO2 and water-sourced hydrogen using renewable electricity, or alternatively hydrogen itself.
