Vietjet and Oxford University announce research results on Net Zero solutions for global aviation

VTV.vn - The event took place on October 28, 2025 in Oxford, within the framework of General Secretary To Lam's official visit to the UK.

The project, led by Professor Myles Allen, Director of the Oxford Net Zero Centre, focuses on research into Geological Balance Fuel (GBF) – a type of aviation fuel that is carbon-offset by long-term storage of CO₂ in deep geological strata. Initial results suggest that GBF could pave the way for the global aviation industry to achieve net-zero emissions by the middle of this century.

The advantage of this innovative solution is its low cost and minimal disruption to existing fuel supply solutions worldwide , thus limiting the impact and cost increases on current energy and fuel industries.

The initiative also contributes to promoting educational cooperation and training high-quality human resources between Vietnam and the United Kingdom, with doctoral and postdoctoral research programs at Oxford Net Zero.

The project is part of Vietjet's Fly Green campaign – a sustainable development strategy towards "a green future for a green sky," through the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), carbon offsetting, reforestation, investment in renewable energy, and the application of AI in operations, helping to reduce emissions per passenger by 38% compared to older generation aircraft.

Dr. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Chairwoman of Vietjet, shared: "Congratulations to Professor Allen. I appreciate the cooperation program with Oxford University to jointly cultivate green initiatives – connecting knowledge, technology, and compassion. Vietjet hopes to work with international partners to create a humane, prosperous, and sustainable future for future generations."
