Vietjet
and the University of Oxford Announce Global Aviation Net Zero Research
Findings
(Vietjet, United Kingdom, 29
October 2025) –
Vietjet and the University of Oxford announced the findings of a landmark
research initiative on Net Zero solutions for global aviation. The results were
unveiled during the official visit of Vietnam’s General Secretary To Lam to the
United Kingdom.
The
project, led by Professor Myles Allen, Director of Oxford Net Zero,
focuses on Geological Balance Fuel (GBF) – an innovative form of
aviation fuel where carbon emissions are offset through the long-term
geological storage of CO₂. Initial findings suggest that GBF could provide a
practical pathway for the aviation sector to achieve Net Zero emissions by
mid-century.
The
key advantage of this breakthrough lies in
its cost-effectiveness and compatibility with existing global
fuel supply systems, minimizing disruption and additional costs to current
energy and fuel industries.
Beyond
technological innovation, the project also promotes educational and human
capital collaboration between Vietnam and the United Kingdom,
including the establishment of research fellowships and post-doctoral
programmes at Oxford Net Zero.
This
initiative forms part of Vietjet’s “Fly Green” campaign – the
airline’s long-term sustainability strategy for “a green future under a
blue sky.” Through the adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel
(SAF), carbon offset mechanisms, reforestation
programmes, investments in renewable energy, and AI-driven
operational efficiencies, Vietjet has successfully reduced average
emissions per passenger by 38% compared with previous-generation aircraft.
Dr
Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Chairwoman of Vietjet, said: "My warmest
congratulations to Professor Allen. I deeply value this collaboration with the
University of Oxford as we work together to advance green innovation — connecting
knowledge, technology, and compassion. Vietjet is committed to partnering with
international institutions to build a humane, prosperous, and sustainable
future for generations to come".
