Using environmentally friendly fuels can solve this problem, and here’s how report According to Gazprom Neft news reports, it has signed an agreement with Aeroflot to cooperate in the production of low-carbon SAF fuel, which involves the use of esters and fatty acids and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% during aircraft engine operation. You see, that’s a huge difference.
As Gazprom points out, the use of this type of fuel will be mandatory for all airlines operating international flights from 2027.
