Vaccine passports are making headlines and eliciting emergency measures by governors in a handful of states.
So what are these credentials, exactly, and what are they used for?
What is a vaccine passport?
It s a credential that can be used to show that a person has been vaccinated. The same technology can be used to show a person s coronavirus test results. It s a way to demonstrate a person s health status, generally through a smartphone app or a QR code that has been printed.
Technology is by far the most important overall factor for cutting carbon emissions, embracing both aircraft and engine technology and sustainable aviation fuels.
Aircraft/engine technology: upcoming aircraft and future aircraft
Aircraft/engine technology improvements includes both evolutionary change to upcoming aircraft (i.e. aircraft models already available or in the pipeline that are more efficient than most of the installed fleet) and next generation future aircraft types.
The modelling envisages that upcoming aircraft reduce emissions by between 15% and 25% over previous generation aircraft, and that future aircraft reduce emissions by between 30% and 50% compared to upcoming aircraft.
A hydrogen-powered single aisle aircraft, modelled to be introduced in 2035, would have zero carbon emissions.

Latin American carriers could be among the most affected by the initiative.
