Market Scope & Segmentation
Carbon-based fuels such as kerosene or gasoline have been the primary source of fuel for aircraft. These fuels are used to power the aircraft engines to lift the largest airliners. Aviation fuels are also the major contributors of CO2 emissions, and with the decreasing oil resources, the aviation industry is constantly finding an alternative power source. Increasing research & development for electric propulsion in aircraft is one way to reduce the environmental emissions and increase the fuel efficiency of aircraft.
