Aviation is expected to be the only sector to see continued rising demand for fossil fuels in the future. Between 2021 and 2050, a forecast suggests demand for fossil fuels used for air travel would increase by some 77 percent compared to 2021 levels. This figure highlights the aviation industry's struggle with reducing reliance on polluting fuels. By comparison, electrification efforts within the passenger car industry would see fossil fuel demand fall by over 50 percent in the same time period.
