DLR: cleaner aircraft emissions reduce the climate impact of contrail cirrus

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 28, 2019

In our theoretical estimates, we found that a significant reduction in soot emissions is required to reduce the climate impact of contrails effectively. For example, new engine technologies enable soot emissions to be reduced as a result of combustion at higher temperatures, even using conventional fuels.
