What Are the Policy Impacts on Renewable Jet Fuel in Sweden?

The aviation industry contributes to more than 2% of global human-induced CO<sub>2</sub>-emissions, and it is expected to increase to 3% by 2050 as demand for aviation grows. As the industry is still dependent on conventional jet fuel, an essential component for a carbon-neutral growth i...
