The Green Age of Aviation

The Green Age of Aviation: How Hemp, Innovation, and Radical Thinking Will Save the Skies By Gary J. Byrnes Imagine a future where planes fuel themselves from fields of lush green hemp, where airports aren't just hubs of carbon emissions but living, breathing carbon sinks. Sounds like science fiction? Think again. Welcome to The Green Age of Aviation**.** Buckle up because aviation as we know it is about to be disrupted. We're standing at the crossroads of climate catastrophe and technological revolution, and the aviation industry—long seen as an environmental villain—is now primed to lead the fight against carbon. But not in the way you think. Inside this book, you'll discover: How industrial hemp—yes, hemp—can revolutionise carbon removal and fuel production for airlines. The staggering reality that the aviation industry accounts for 2.5% of global emissions—and why that's just the beginning. Why the world's busiest airports should transform into carbon-capturing eco-centres. The insane cost of traditional carbon offset schemes, and why they simply don't work fast enough. A visionary roadmap for airlines to embrace sustainability without destroying their bottom line. This isn't just a book. It's a manifesto for the future of flight. Gary J. Byrnes, an award-winning entrepreneur and climate futurist, takes you on a high-stakes ride through the boldest solutions to aviation's biggest problem. Packed with cutting-edge science, out-of-the-box thinking, and a touch of irreverence, The Green Age of Aviation is for aviation professionals, climate warriors, and anyone who refuses to accept that flying and sustainability can't coexist. If you're ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about aviation's role in the climate crisis, this book will take you to new heights. Fasten your seatbelt. The future of flight is about to take off.
