Palmer, Walter J., 1948-

Will sustainability fly? : aviation fuel options in a low-carbon world / Walter J. Palmer. - xviii, 271 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Walter J. Palmer provides background in technical and policy terms for the necessary discourse on society's reaction to the evolving aviation emissions profile. He considers what policy has been, why and how commercial air travel is committed to its current liquid fuel, how that fuel can be made without using fossil-source materials, and the barriers to change. He also advances some policy remedies for an environmentally and economically sound way forward.
