The space Industry, with its rocket launches, is responsible for the same amount of carbon emissions as the global aviation industry. A study has shown that pollution from rockets could have a significant cumulative effect on climate and be hazardous to human health. The use of RP-1, a kerosene-based fuel, in rocket launches creates CO2 and black carbon emissions. However, there is a Green Revolution starting in the space launch industry, with emerging companies using propane as a sustainable fuel. Efforts are also being made to address environmental sustainability in spaceports and tackle space debris.
