German researchers have begun a series of flights to measure the contrails produced by the latest-generation engines as part of a wider project tackling aviation's non-CO2 impacts.

Contrails — the white line-shaped clouds left behind by planes — pose a particular problem as they are able to trap heat. Julian Stratenschulte/dpa Passenger aircraft contribute significantly to ...

It's no secret that the world is facing a climate crisis, and that businesses are looking at ways to limit their carbon footprint, in a bid to help lower greenhouse gas emissions amid the harsh ...

Contrail management technology cuts climate impact and supports scientific validation activity in real-world trials with airlines. As a low-cost, easy-to-implement software solution, contrail ...

When two people book the same flight, they can get wildly different carbon footprints from online calculators. Many carbon ...

Contrails are clouds made of ice particles, which can be created when airplanes fly through cold, humid air. Persistent contrails are estimated to have a warming climate impact. Flight tests will ...

Approved for progression by Gold Standard, SATAVIA’s methodology enables issuance of Certified Mitigation Outcome Units (CMOUs) for non-CO2 emissions avoided. SATAVIA’s methodology will provide ...

You've definitely seen them in the sky before, but have you ever wondered how plane contrails form? Typically it's a fairly simple process of condensation from jet engines, but sometimes it's just the ...
