Vietjet and Oxford University have presented the findings of their milestone joint research initiative on Net Zero solutions for global aviation.

Findings from the study were reported during the official visit of Vietnam’s General Secretary To Lam to the United Kingdom.

Vietjet chair Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao commended the team behind the study, saying: “I deeply value this collaboration with the University of Oxford as we work together to advance green innovation by connecting knowledge, technology, and compassion.”

Nguyen added that Vietjet is committed to partnering with international institutions to build a humane, prosperous, and sustainable future for generations to come.

Relevant findings and results

Led by Myles Allen, the project focused on the development and potential use of Geological Balance Fuel (GBF), an innovative form of aviation fuel.

With GBF, carbon emissions are offset through the long-term geological storage of CO₂. Initial findings suggest that it 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.

This joint study with Oxford Net Zero is part of Vietjet’s Fly Green campaign, its long-term sustainability strategy for a green future under a blue sky.

Over the past several years, Vietjet has expressed its commitment through the adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), carbon offset mechanisms, reforestation programs, investments in renewable energy, and AI-driven operational efficiencies.

As a result, the airline has successfully reduced average emissions per passenger by 38 percent compared to previous-generation aircraft.
