carbon emissions in aviation

Carbon emissions in aviation refer to the greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO₂), released into the atmosphere during airplane flights. When aircraft burn fuel, the chemical reaction produces energy for propulsion and emits CO₂, contributing to global warming. Longer flights and bigger planes generally produce more emissions, while newer, fuel-efficient aircraft aim to reduce their carbon footprint. The aviation industry is working towards greener solutions, such as alternative fuels and improved technology, to lower its environmental impact while meeting global travel demands.
