As climate change edges from crisis to emergency, the aviation sector looks set to miss its 2050 goal of net-zero emissions. A glimmer of hope, however, comes from solar fuels.

Solar radiation management (SRM) is one of the geoengineering techniques proposed as a potential means of offsetting some of the anthropogenic radiative forcing of climate as a means to reduce climate change. Contrary to some claims, they note, this could provide meaningful tests of the climate’s response to SRM within a decade.
