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

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 28, 2019

Fewer soot particles in the exhaust stream of aircraft reduces the formation of ice crystals and therefore the climate impact of the resulting contrail cirrus. For example, new engine technologies enable soot emissions to be reduced as a result of combustion at higher temperatures, even using conventional fuels.
