Q . DESCRIBE THE LAUNCH OF SHELL AVIATION ’ S NEW LIFECYCLE SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH FOR AEROSHELL LUBRICANTS ?
» Shell Aviation has introduced a new lifecycle sustainability approach for its AeroShell aviation lubricants to avoid , reduce and then compensate for lifecycle carbon emissions , helping to support customers in their efforts to meet their sustainability ambitions .
Even though lubricants represent a small proportion of aviation emissions when compared to jet fuel , for the aviation sector to reach net zero it must address emissions from all aspects of aircraft operation . By focusing on each part of the aviation ecosystem , Shell Aviation is playing its part in helping the aviation sector reach net zero by 2050 .
