Author: Press Trust of India
American plane maker Boeing on December 11, 2022 said India is a priority country for its ambitious programme to decarbonise aerospace globally from both the civilian and military aircraft and to chart a path toward a sustainable future. Brian, Boeing’s Vice President for Global Sustainability Policy and Partnerships, said the company is confident of delivering commercial airplanes capable of flying on 100 per cent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) by 2030. “India is hugely important to Boeing and to our aviation business, but also to our sustainability journey. In a significant global announcement, Boeing said last year that its commercial airplanes will be capable and certified to fly on 100 per cent sustainable aviation fuels by 2030. There has been growing deliberations globally on curbing carbon emissions from flying. At a recent meeting in Montreal, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), vowed to support a net-zero aviation goal by 2050.
