SUMMARY:Assessing Implications of the Deployment of Sustainable Flight in

DESCRIPTION:As net-zero goals rapidly approach\, attention has been devote
 d to “hard-to-abate” sectors from academics and industry alike. This r
 esearch develops a novel model to estimate the land\, water\, energy\, cap
 ital\, and carbon footprints implied by commitment to sustainable aviation
  fuels (SAFs) and Liquid Hydrogen as aviation fuel sources to allow indust
 ry and governmental stakeholders to effectively consider these factors dur
 ing decision-making.  System feedbacks\, including those required to recap
 ture all carbon emitted through direct air carbon capture (DACC)\, are mod
 elled. Biomass-based fuels are found to require more land and green water 
 than their counterparts\, while highly hydrogen-dependent fuels are more e
 nergy intensive. The inclusion of DACC is found to increase energy\, blue 
 water\, and DACC capacity required by 25%. Higher carbon fuels are thus fo
 und to require more energy and blue water than literature predicts.\n\nEle
 ven policy scenarios for UK aviation decarbonisation are evaluated for all
  international flights leaving the London Airport Cluster. Results indicat
 e all scenarios require significant resources\, trading off carbon for wat
 er\, land\, and energy use. Fuel pathway choice is found to be influential
  on the distribution and scale of environmental footprints\; while sectora
 l growth and fuel efficiency improvement assumptions are found to influenc
 e their scale.
