Can 'sustainable jet fuel' help US airlines reach net-zero emissions?

U.S. airline companies are relying on what are known as Sustainable Aviation Fuels to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, a deadline set by the Biden administration. But a new report from the Institute of Policy Studies argues the industry is far off pace to reach that goal. How sustainable are these fuels? Chuck Collins, one of the authors of the Institute’s report, joined host Adam Reilly to discuss, along with Florian Allroggen, executive director of Aerospace Climate and Sustainability at MIT.
