Aviation
Air travel has become an integral part of our daily lives, and the aviation industry stands at a pivotal crossroads as the world grapples with the urgent need to address rising carbon emissions. Globally, the aviation industry accounts for roughly 2-3 percent of all CO2 emissions, and this is set to increase as global travel steadily recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic,
