So Delta is obviously trying to serve its customers as best we can. And through that, you\u2019re seeing growth in international destinations and premium seats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The airline has hundreds of planes on order and while new aircraft are more efficient, more flights will mean\u00a0 more emissions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Amelia DeLuca serves as Chief Sustainability Officer at Delta Air Lines, leading the airline&#8217;s net zero by 2050 goal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite rising emissions, DeLuca pointed to signs of progress. She said Delta increased its capacity by 5% last year compared to 2019, but used less jet fuel, a first for the airline. It saved 45 million gallons of jet fuel and roughly $110 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat means we\u2019re growing, but doing so more efficiently,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Delta credits that efficiency to flight improvements such as more efficient routes as well as newer aircraft, which the International Air Transport Association says can be up to 20% more fuel efficient than older models.<\/p>\n<p>DeLuca also said part of the emissions increase comes down to better data. As Delta improves tracking of indirect emissions, such as those from suppliers, its total footprint appears larger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur scope three emissions look like they\u2019re going up, but it\u2019s just because we\u2019re now working with our supply chain to give us the most accurate emissions that we can get,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-race-for-sustainable-aviation-fuel\"><strong>The Race for Sustainable Aviation Fuel<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>DeLuca made it clear that operational tweaks and better planes won\u2019t be enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is the biggest lever,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s the only thing that gets us to net zero. We\u2019re in a race against time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Delta is building a SAF blending hub in Minnesota and working with corporate clients to create demand. The airline hopes this can serve as a model for broader state-level action.<\/p>\n<p>There have been concerns that SAF production will never be able to grow to the level required by the entire aviation sector, as it tries to decarbonize, due to issues around feedstocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The fuel uses things like used cooking oil, of which there is limited supply, and plants, which are feared might result in crop displacement &#8211; taking vital land away for things like food for humans, for SAF.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere&#8217;s a limit to how much used cooking oil exists. The next generation of SAF is using biomass type products, such as corn waste, potentially woody biomass from fallen trees,\u201d DeLuca said. \u201cAll those have a limit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeLuca called on the sector to continue investing in new technologies such as carbon capture, capturing gasses out of the atmosphere using renewable energy and turning it back into fuel. \u201cThese are unlimited feedstocks. And that cost profile of that product, if you have unlimited feedstocks, is actually lower than conventional jet fuel today. But that is a long way off. This is going to take all of us. Airlines alone can\u2019t solve climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Skift\u2019s in-depth reporting on climate issues is made possible through the financial support of Intrepid Travel.
