本論文は、持続可能な航空燃料(SAF)と液体水素(LH2)が2050年における飛行機雲の有効放射強制力に与える影響を全球シミュレーションで評価した。完全なSAF利用で放射強制力が53%減少し、LH2とSAFの混合利用で69%減少することを示した。この減少は飛行機雲の特性変化と飛行需要の減少によるもので、航空脱炭素における非CO2排出削減の大きな可能性を明らかにした。
English
This study uses global climate simulations to assess the impact of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and liquid hydrogen (LH2) on contrail cirrus effective radiative forcing by 2050. Full SAF use reduces forcing by 53%, while a mixed LH2-SAF pathway achieves a 69% reduction. These reductions are driven by changes in contrail properties and a 9-12% reduction in flight demand. The findings highlight significant non-CO2 mitigation opportunities for aviation decarbonization.

In the global GX context
This paper provides the first global assessment including LH2 and demonstrates that alternative fuels can substantially reduce contrail cirrus forcing, a major non-CO2 climate impact of aviation. It complements CO2-focused strategies and is critical for comprehensive climate policy in aviation, including under ICAO and national decarbonization plans.

📄 Abstract（原文）
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Alternative aviation fuels may mitigate contrail cirrus climate effects, yet their global potential remains uncertain. Here, we present a global assessment of contrail cirrus effective radiative forcing (ERF) using climate simulations under realistic 2050 adoption pathways for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and, for the first time, liquid hydrogen (LH2). Relative to a 2050 baseline contrail cirrus ERF of 127 [96, 157] mW m−2, alternative fuels produce substantial reductions. A transition to full SAF use lowers ERF to 59 [33, 85] mW m−2 (53% reduction). A mixed LH2-SAF pathway, with approximately half the fleet using LH2, further reduces ERF to 39 [18, 61] mW m−2 (69% reduction). Changes in contrail properties and lifetime, together with a 9-12% reduction in flight demand, drive these effects. Overall, SAF and LH2 could complement CO2-focused strategies by strongly reducing contrail cirrus climate impact. These findings highlight significant non-CO2 mitigation opportunities within future aviation decarbonisation strategies.</p>
