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 Geological Balance Fuel (GBF) – a carbon-offset aviation fuel that stores CO₂ in deep geological layers for the long term. Initial results suggest that GBF could provide a pathway to achieving the global net zero emissions target for aviation by mid-century.

The advantage of this innovative solution is low cost and limited changes to fuel supply solutions currently operating in the world , limiting the impact and increasing costs of current energy and fuel industries.

The initiative also contributes to promoting educational cooperation and training of high-quality human resources between Vietnam and the UK, with PhD and postdoctoral programs at Oxford Net Zero.

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

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