RENEWABLE ENERGY

Few industries capture the imagination like aviation. The freedom to fly has revolutionised economies, connected cultures and made the world smaller.

But as the climate crisis intensifies, aviation’ s environmental impact is under the microscope. With around 2-3 % of global CO₂ emissions attributed to air travel – and demand for flights projected to soar – decarbonising aviation is one of the 21st century’ s great sustainability challenges.
At the heart of this revolution is Sustainable Aviation Fuel( SAF), a technology offering hope, complexity and innovation in equal measure.
Airbus, as one of the world’ s leading aerospace manufacturers, is at the forefront of this transition.
